This exact 1980 BMW M1 was in a collection owned by Paul Walker and Roger Rodas before going to the current owner in 2014. Right now you can find the auction listing for this amazing M1 on Bring A Trailer’s website.
The Car’s History
This BMW M1 received modifications in the early ’80s by an authorized BMW dealer, AHG. These goodies consisted of a Procar-style body kit, a custom BMW Motorsport colorway, and some awesome 16-inch BBS wheels.
The late Paul Walker had a ridiculously impressive collection of cars. Over the past couple of years we’ve seen a number of them change hands on the interweb, but this might just be the best one yet
Yep, this brilliant M1 was owned by Walker and Roger Rodas before they died in 2013, and it’s now listed on the US auction site Bring A Trailer.
Glorious looking thing isn’t it? This particular M1 was first delivered to BMW Schneider in Germany, before being modified in the early Eighties. The so-called Studie package was applied by BMW dealer AHG and included the Procar-style bodykit, a custom BMW Motorsport livery and those brilliant 16-inch BBS wheels.
Modifications also lead to the 3.5liter inline-six putting down about 350 brake-horsepower. Also, along with a custom exhaust system, you can almost hear it by looking at the photos.
The current owner of the M1 put just 50 miles on it in 7 years of ownership. Our hats are off, the self-control involved would be insane. The odometer reads exactly 6,800 kilometers (4,225 miles) which is extremely low for a car in its 41st year. Would it surprise you if it went for over a million dollars?
