SUMMARY

A unique BMW M1 with period provenance and period upgraded bodywork to factory Procar specification

DESCRIPTION

  • The M1 was the result of an unlikely partnership between BMW and Lamborghini
  • Chassis by Dallara, body by Giugiaro and engine by Paul Rosche - Motorsport Royalty
  • 453 were produced, 53 for motorsport and 400 (all LHD) hand-finished by Baur as road cars
  • This example was supplied new in February 1980 to Mr Franz Reuther of Berlin, who is better known as Frank Farian the German record producer and the voice of pop band Boney M
  • During his ten year ownership, he had the car modified by BMW Motorsport to incorporate the wider more aggressive look of the race-bred M1 Procar
  • Two further owners until it was purchased by our German vendor some years ago
  • It retains its dramatic Procar looks and is still fitted with the 17
