Limited edition vintage car up for bidding in March.
The BMW M1 is a renowned sports car that is not accessible to many. Only 399 of these models were produced by BMW for public use from 1978 until 1981, and their current value makes them a pricey purchase. However, for those with the means, RM Sotheby’s will be offering a rare, flawless example at an auction on March 1.
According to the advertisement, this particular M1 is among a limited set of three that are coated in elegant silver Polaris metallic. The interior of the cabin is rumored to retain its authentic features, with black leather seats and fabric accents as its main highlights.
On February 23, 1981, this M1 was manufactured by BMW and subsequently delivered to an authorized dealer in France on March 27, 1981. In 1983, the vehicle was shipped to Japan where it remained until its transfer to Belgium in 2006. It ultimately made its way to the United States in 2016, although it had undergone some repairs prior to its arrival.

In the year of 2013, the vehicle underwent a replacement of its clutch, while only a year after it was repainted with the factory-original hue under the supervision of the BMW M1 club’s creator. The odometer has been swapped out and the car has traversed a mere total distance of 10,688 miles.
The M1 is equipped with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine that delivers a robust output of 273 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a five-speed manual transmission. As a result, the coupe boasts an impressive top speed of 162 miles per hour.
The vehicle is accompanied by a BMW Classic certification verifying its features and the authentic M1-branded luggage. Additionally, it includes the instructional guides, a complete set of tools, and duplicates of photographs documenting its journey in both Japan and Europe. RM Sotheby’s approximates a potential sale price ranging from $750,000 to $950,000.
