BMW M1 To Race Again

Thirty years ago, BMW set the world on fire with the 3.5-liter mid-engine M1. BMW built it with racing in mind, and even created the Procar race series exclusively for modified versions of the car. Four years and a little over 450 vehicles later, the dream was over. Now to celebrate the anniversary, BMW is hitting the track with ten of the M1 Procar Championship Series cars at the Hockenheimring in Munich, Germany, on July 19 and 20. Until then enjoy some new footage of the road car taking a few laps at the Nürburgring and some classic footage of the Procar Series in Monaco.
