Ferrari Mailing List: Re: BMW M1 - Re: F355 GTS Sale- Strong!

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

You never liked those (bottle cap wheels)?

 

What’s your take on the Z1? That’s another of my favorites and quite attainable. The only one I ever saw was in Montreal of all places back in the early ‘90s. It was owned by a German diplomat who lived and worked in Ottawa, Ontario. He had the red Canadian consulate licence plate on the back that was merely strapped on top of the car’s original German tags. I always thought they were fun cars, what with the sliding doors.

Yes indeed CG!

 

A classic Italian shape…

 

I really like the OEM wheels too.

 

The BBS mesh style was great on cars that really needed it like most of the older German designs.

 

Remember the horrible BMW Bottle cap wheel on the otherwise charming E30?

One of my all time favorites as well, although never driven or ridden in one. But it’s one of those iconic bodies where you know what it is from ½ mile away.

 

It’s also the only BMW with the chops to backup having a roundel on BOTH sides of the rear.  😊

 

I never shopped for one before they got hot, but it’s been common to see them in the $450-$600k range for the last couple of years.

BTW- the BMW M1 is one of my favorite Italian cars ever.

 

They were at $50k back in the day when I was first looking at them.

 

I have never driven one but friends who have said they were not very exciting.

 

I think the BMW engine is really well done but not enough drama to match the chassis and bodywork…especially at today’s values.

 

Another case of “never meet your heroes”…

Yes, a 1980...  I think... too many cars ago.

Yep, had two fuel fillers

But I thought the wide body or "G" were done by Peter Stevens before he went on to do the McLaren F1.

I'm going to have to look that up... but not tonight.

 

And who thought the F1 was a Gordon Murray design???

 

Too bad, I was hoping you were looking at an M1...  maybe next year?  ;-)

That was my guess... given the 2 fuel fillers clue.

Jaguar?  Or a vintage GT 40?
