The BMW M1 (E26) was a sports car produced by German automaker BMW from 1978 to 1981.

In the late 1970s, Italian manufacturer Lamborghini entered into an agreement with BMW to build a production racing car in sufficient quantity, but conflicts arose that prompted BMW to produce the car themselves.

The result was sold to the public, from 1978 to 1981, as the BMW M1. It was the first mid-engined BMW to be mass-produced.

It employed a twin-cam M88/1 3.5 L six-cylinder petrol engine with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. The engine has six separate throttle bodies, four valves per cylinder and produces 273 hp in the street version, giving a top speed of 162 mph. Turbocharged racing versions are capable of producing around 850 hp.

The M1 coupe was hand-built between 1978 and 1981 under the motorsport division of BMW as a homologation special for sports car racing.

The body was designed by Giugiaro, taking inspiration from the 1972 BMW Turbo show car.

Only 453 production M1s were built, making it one of BMW's rarest models. Of the 453 produced, 20 were race versions created for the BMW M1 Procar Championship.

The M1 had various successes in motorsports. In 2004, Sports Car International placed the car at number ten on their list of top sports cars of the 1970s.
