    lol, i know, it WAS a bit of an incendiary comment!

    they made 450, i think...50 to race, and 400 to sell..

    Well, admittedly, it is a very special car.

    One that is not likely to be replicated by the modern variations of cars.

    It has tons of swagger when one pulls up to a Cars & Coffee gathering.

    Enjoy it in good health!

    Gorgeous car, I've been smitten by the M1 since the first time I saw one in person at Braman BMW in Miami in 1981 or 1982. Enjoy it!!

    Phil,
    I think you have truelly set yourself apart from the "crowd" by purchasing what is in my opinion one of the icons of automotive history. I salute you sir! ;)

    MORE PICS!!!!!

    ps, Whats funny is the looks on some peoples faces in you pic, they would not recognize/know the car if it was not for the badge.

    First "reliable/usable" exotic? NSX often gets credit - though this one arrived first.

    You spelled "best car in the world" incorrectly. It's supposed to go "The Ultimate Driving Machine"... :D

    An underrated, almost forgotten, car for sure. One might say "the thinking man's classic supercar"...

    i've been driving it around manhattan (where i live) and no one thinks it's a bmw-most people either think it's a ferrari, that i've rebadged, (which is REALLY odd...wouldn't you go the other way?) or that it's a kit car..

    it really is amazing-it's true-it really was the nsx before the nsx-so docile around town, but when you open the car up..it's fantastic...

    ... and a brilliant illustration that six cylinders can be just fine for a supercar :)
