Description
BMW M1
In this episode, I cover the BMW M1, a sports car developed in the late 1970s through a partnership between BMW and Lamborghini. The project started strong but due to finical issues with Lamborghini, the M1 was soon behind schedule and was never able to recover, killing its racing career before it even started. Today the M1 is considered one of the best cars of all time despite this failure and holds a special place in car enthusiast's hearts.
