**New BMW M1 Concept**

alfa romeo comes to mind

vAnt826 · 04-27-2008, 12:22 AM

God I hope that never sees the market.

doku · 04-27-2008, 12:40 AM

Dr. Brown and I took that thing for a spin next weekend (or last weekend?)

Not my taste as it is, but it's promising. BMW would benefit from having something like this in their product line.

Wai328 · 04-27-2008, 12:59 AM

Rims are

plasmasmp · 04-27-2008, 01:09 AM

While the rims aren't my favorite, way to go BMW on going back to the 80's styling! I'd take one in a second.

You said all that needed to be said there. That thing is just disgustingly ugly.

Lucky for us BMW has already said that they have no plans for an M1.

Cosmo335i · 04-27-2008, 01:37 AM

Love it. As u remenber BMW used lamborghini body.

Big Windy · 04-27-2008, 02:22 AM

Year's_End · 04-27-2008, 02:47 AM

Well I like the way they made the grille a 3D design aspect, and the taillights are somewhat relative to the ones featured on the CS. Still, the thing looks like it could have been done as a design school project. Maybe it won a contest or something and BMW featured it at that show or something.

It's good, but it's severely flawed in terms of aesthetics, in my opinion.

Year's_End · 04-27-2008, 02:49 AM

Even the hood creases follow the CS design. Didn't notice that. I think my stating of it being severely flawed is a bit of an overstatement. It's flawed, but it's not horrible. The corners on the car are what's making it look awkward. They're too abrupt.

Year's_End · 04-27-2008, 03:01 AM

To attract the yuppies^

e90pilot · 04-27-2008, 04:07 AM

Stick an S70 in the back and I'd be willing to forget the looks.

BMWPower06 · 04-27-2008, 04:20 AM

The dual BMW roundels are A LA the original M1

Vickyy · 04-27-2008, 04:30 AM

definitely look very similar to the old M1s, but the kidney grills look really awkward

smack · 04-27-2008, 05:08 AM

i think they need to bring this car back.

Hula-Hula · 04-27-2008, 08:14 AM

I think it's the best looking car ever....

LONG LIVE BMW M1!
