BMW M1 E26

The BMW M1 E26 is a rare icon that bridged the gap between supercar performance and Bavarian engineering excellence. Produced from 1978 to 1981, it remains BMW’s only mid-engined road car, featuring a sleek Giugiaro-designed body and a race-bred 3.5-liter straight-six.

Originally developed for motorsport, the M1 delivered balanced handling, timeless wedge styling, and exclusivity—only 453 were ever built—making it one of the most coveted classics in BMW history.
