Welcome to the BMW M1 Site

Between the years of 1978 and 1981, there were 455 BMW M1's manufactured by BMW Motorsport. The M1 with its throaty 6 cylinder engine and great styling makes it an easy car to love. However, since the vehicle hasn't been manufactured since 1981, it makes the car hard to maintain. 

This is especially true for the very few individuals in the world who still race them competitively.  As a result, most M1's still in existence have been retired to museums or private collections although some are still driven.

This site is dedicated to the sharing of information about the M1 to all interested parties; owners, racers, and enthusiasts alike. 

During the 2003 Lime Rock Vintage Festival, the BMW M1 was prominently displayed for its 25th Anniversary. During this event I was introduced to Gordon Medenica who handles the M1 Register and he has allowed us to repost content from his Newsletter. I would encourage all M1 owners to register their cars with the M1 Register to help maintain the history of the M1. There are no dues, fees or obligations and complete confidentiality.
