bmw m1 retro concept








i like it , looks better then any other retro inspired modern supercar out there
just a few tweeks here and there, and send it off for production
needs small nose job and butt job, not much, just a smidge

i agree with the color and wheels. I don't think that orange looks right on bmws.

just had it sink in a bit more
the headlights have to change, the squished look is just not it
i'm thinking squared off lens, that wraps around the hood and bumper, bit like 924C GTR, but not completely flat, have it wrap around from flat to horizontal

the area around the BMW grill is just wrong, it looks like a frigging animal snout


the hood needs to loose that hump
the M1 was a mid engined car, so the hump is pointless
besides, it looks to much like something you'de see on an american car, mustang or whatever.. it's to beefy

lower front valance, needs to loose those airducts left and right, to Ferrari F360/F430 like
the whole front needs to be come more elegant, especially if standing next to the M1 and 850

the M1 was designed by Italians, this version could not possibly be mistaken for having italian design origins, it's not elegant enough looking from the front...

The "nostrils" look a bit out of proportion on the front. Other than that, I like the styling overall. Pretty interesting.

Cool looking car.

I wonder how good the aerodynamics are?

I think they should make it.

I liked it before I saw the picture with the old ones in the background.

Looks like a refugee from 'Corvette Summer' to me...

Overstyled.
