The BMW M1 was a production car. They had one on diplay at the BMW Visitors' Center at their Greer, South Carolina manufacturing plant. Another one came and was a part of their Euro '99 car show which, by the way, had 4 DeLoreans show up. It was a great show. The BMW on the show field was for sale and the for sale sign said $85000 or trade. Brian VIN 1597
