BMW 1-Series M Coupe Allegedly Laps the Nürburgring in 8:12" Making it Faster than E46 M3

The BMW 1-Series M Coupe is pretty fast on paper. Reaching the 60 mph (96 km/h) mark in just 4.7 seconds is no small feat, but nowadays, it seems that performance cars need to have a respectable “Ring” time under there belt to command respect. Now, a forum member of the 1Addicts fan site who calls himself "SteveD" claims that the Ring time for the 335-horsepower strong M model is 8 minutes and

Rendering Fantasies: BMW M1 Morphed into Dodge Challenger

The thing we love most about image/graphics editing programs is that they allow you to explore the boundaries of your imagination. Anything is possible, even a Dodge Challenger version of the BMW M1 Homage Concept (see photos here) that was created by a Russian artist that goes by the nickname Remio. As weird as it may sound, not only do we find the end result convincing but as a matter of fact,

BMW M1 Homage Production Version Rendering

There’s still no word whether BMW is actually considering developing a production model of its well received M1 Homage Concept that was unveiled at last month’s Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este classic car salon, but there’s no harm in showing you how a production M1 could look like. Though not the best quality, this scan from German car magazine “Auto Zeitung”, features a rendering of a

Update: BMW M1 “Prototype” Photoshop Based on M3 E92

As we told you earlier today (see here), the BMW M1 Prototype that took the net by surprise was just a photoshop exercise.

BMW M1 Prototype… Photoshop by “H0SS Forero”

For the past 24 hours the net is rumbling about this picture allegedly depicting a BMW M1 Prototype caught in an airplane hanger in somewhere in Spain. First of all, we’re 99.9% sure it’s a chop blending Audi R8, BMW M3 and God knows how many elements from other cars. A very good chop, but nevertheless, a chop. And if that isn’t enough to convince you, the website called Freshtarmac that

Nostalgia: 1970’s Videos of the BMW M1 Procar in Monaco and the Nurburgring

Last weekend’s presentation of the BMW M1 Homage Concept (see here) prompted us to perform a search on the original M1’s history and in particular, its racing heritage. Our hunt led us to the discovery of two, nostalgic late-1970’s videos of the M1 Procar racing version, one from the Procar Series in Monaco and another one with the M1 lapping the famous Nurburgring race track. The peppy M1
