Re: New M1 Beamer !?

I have always loved the M1, this one I'm not so sure. Although, it does bring back a lot of the look of the original turbo concept car that the M1 was based off of, so the looks do have meaning, so to speak.

Re: New M1 Beamer !?

I think it looks very good. Not sure how effective those headlights would be squinting through there.....And the wheels may even be bling enough for Fali? Is this any different to Ford bringing out the new GT? I don't think so.

Re: New M1 Beamer !?

I love it. I love the originals too. This is the one I used to look after for Dennis Aase. Dennis has the record for the most poles in IMSA GTO, this baby helped him with that. This car sounded incredible. 6 into one megaphone 4 valve inline 6. We could hear that car over everything around the track even the Mazdas.
Love that M1
