Discovering a classic gem from a renowned car manufacturer can be a thrilling experience that leaves a lasting impression. At The Status Life, we can’t help but be amazed by the sight of the 1980 BMW M1 currently up for sale at RM Sotheby’s.
This particular 1980 BMW M1, featured in RM Sotheby’s Amelia Island auction, stands out as a magnificent specimen of BMW’s iconic mid-engined supercar. With a history of single-family ownership spanning from 1980 to 2019, this car represents one of only 399 road versions ever produced. Following an extensive restoration process, which included work on the exhaust system, refinishing of wheels, installation of new tires, engine tune-up, engine resealing, coolant hose replacement, air conditioning service, and fluid changes, this M1 shines like new.
Notable for producing just 455 units between 1978 and 1981, comprising 399 road vehicles and 56 race cars, the BMW M1 remains a rare find, particularly in the United States where few were imported. This scarcity only serves to enhance the allure of this model among BMW enthusiasts. If you are captivated by this beauty, head to RM Sotheby’s to explore further.
