Used BMW M1 Factory test car Only 22087 km, Stunning condition throughout! Inka orange color scheme for saleIt is in the late 1970s when BMW starts a collaboration with Lamborghini to produce a homologation model so that it can race in the Group 5 class and compete against rivals such as Porsche. At that time, however, it was not feasible for BMW to build four hundred cars, so contact was made with the Italian sports car manufacturer. Even before the project properly starts, Lamborghini is in financial trouble and it seems that the sports car designed by Giorgietto Giugiaro will not materialize. A handful of ex-employees of ‘the brand with the bull’ started the company ItalEngineering, mainly as a mediator so that the cooperation between BMW, ItalDesign and Baur in Stuttgart runs smoothly.

The M1 you see here is the third example built according to factory production data and the first production car to be delivered to a dealer in Germany.

Gebhardt had been successfully driving a CSL and M1 Procar since 1978 and had close ties to BMW, which led him to acquire this street version of the M1. Gebhardt owned the car for about 6 years, driving about 1,000 kilometres a year. The second owner was at least as much of a lover of special BMWs as Gebhardt, because this man owned the M1 for thirty years!
