Its funny how you directly reacted saying "beater"!! How did you know that you mr genius?? Moreover, it looks like a sh*t! I would rather have a lambo with no engine than this one with everything and money over the car!!

Yes Yes Yes. Absolutely Fabulous. Not so much retro as a reinterpretation of what was always a deeply fabulous car. Now all we need is a similar exercise on the Mercedes-Benz CIII!

Rims look like retro water drains. There's a hint of Ferrari styling at the front, not well executed though. If they actually do consider releasing this vehicle the front end will have to be toned down significantly for pedestrian safety purposes.

its over aggressive cartoonish styling sadly reminds me of the new retro camaro. in many ways, it is doing the exact same thing that the new beetle, mini cooper, and new camaro does - building on the success of the past in a very blatant demeanor.

I can see where BMW are trying to present the original M1 with a new up to date design, but you have to conclude the final product is a poor effort.

i like the front end design i think it is a good modern interpretation, the rear end is not so successful, far too fussy, they would need to change that if it went into production. the r8 is a much more successful design.

It looks superb and exactly like what the modern M1 should, very AggReSsiVe……hopefully BMW isn’t going to ruin this M creature by V8…

Look at the sketches... it looks like a wabbit on the top two sketches xD.. it does have that bmw m1 retro feeling... but it doesn't feel right at all. On dubaiuae's comment... I don't think this could beat a lambo..

WOW ... that's the best looking supercar since the timeless and beautiful McLaren F1 ... well it would be if they removed the dreadful "gangster" chrome wheels ... does anyone actually think chrome wheels ever look classy or is it just me that thinks they make any car look cheap and trashy?

i agree with u, but im not so sure that a german supercar can be better looking than what the Italians have been doing sence 1th century...

shaahinMT ... good comment re German Vs Italian design ... however the original M1 WAS penned by Giugiaro therefore the Italian heritage is still in there, just adapted and modernised by the artists at BMW with this homage concept

These aren't chromed wheels, but polished. It's more elegant in my opinion. Chromed wheels are OK in a Rolls Royce, and that's it. About this concept, eventhough it's a tribute to the original car, it looks too italian, and that declining crease on the lower side is kinda ugly. I'd give it a 7.5/10, prolly 8 if I saw it in person...

"Sadly, none of them has made it into production so far."
How about the RR Phantom Coupé???

The 1998 BMW Z07 concept made it to production as the low volume 2000-2003 BMW Z8 roadster.

I hate to admit, but the R8 is still looking better, goddamn!!!!! The rear of the car is too high, all car is too futuristic!

Ouch...I really wish I could say that I like it, but I don't. The design is way too fussy, from any angle. The side treatment almost looks amateur, and even though it attempts to be original (which it succeeds at) it still looks horrible. The car almost looks fake to me...looks like a CAD rendering of some kind. I honestly can't see this making it into production, let alone BMW brass approving it as is or even close to as is. Needs a lot of reworking to make it worthy. Also, it looks way too complicated for a BMW product. Anyhow, perhaps like other BMW's, the design needs time to grow but it'll need to grow a heck of a lot!

its a "concept" car...its just a design showcase, not reality...and as any concept car when it goes to production, it will be less of the bat-mobile, more of the germen common sense; grown up and mature...
