font size = "4"Single family ownership from 1980 â 2019 BMW's only mid-engine sportscar Recent major mechanical servicing and preservation restoration completed by Canepa BMW tool roll kit, road hazard triangle, medical kit and spare wheel/tire  Rivalry has always been an effective catalyst for producing some of the world's most well-designed sports cars. Companies always have pushed their designs to the limit to beat out their competitors in efforts to win the affection of consumers on the street and championships on the track. The BMW M1, the Bavarian Motor Company's first mid-engined sports car, was just that. Originally conceptualized to go up against the likes of Porsche's incredibly-dominant racers, the M1 became an iconic street car with its racing counterpart gaining widespread success in Group 4 racing. Born from competition, wearing Italian-designed bodywork by Giorgetto Giugiaro and built by German specialty coachbuilder Baur, the BMW M1 team effort created one of BMW's most iconic vehicles of all time.  This BMW M1 began its life with a single Bay Area family and remained in their possession since new. Importing the car from Germany from new was John Davila. During his life, John owned a total of three M1s and was very much in love with the style and design of the M1. Of the three cars, two came to him in orange and the other in blue. This example he drove for a few years when he first acquired the car before deciding to do a comprehensive and very detailed color change to white. Among all of the cars that John owned and drove over the years, this M1 was the car that he kept.  In the early 1990s John passed away, leaving his prized M1 to his two sons who inherited his passion and love for automobiles. Wanting to keep one of the fondest lasting memories of their late father, the family stored the car in the San Francisco Bay Area where it would remain until early 2010. Upon exiting its storage, it was completely serviced so the two brothers could enjoy the car. Both of the brothers described being able to drive the car allowed them to experience their memories again of their father and all of the fun times they had together in the M1.  In 2017 the car was given a comprehensive service by Canepa that included service, mechanical repair, and preservation restoration including work on the wiring harness, alternator, fuel system, suspension bushings, and brakes. The M1 was also given a sympathetic preservation of the interior, using new original carpet and Ãberkaro black checkered cloth inserts in the seats while preserving all of the original black leather.  In 2019 it returned to Canepa to complete all of its mechanical servicing and refurbishment, restoring all of the mechanical systems as needed. The car was treated to a full "Canepa Difference" experience, with all systems on the car inspected to be working in correct order. Items that were addressed included: restoring the entire exhaust system, wheels refinished, new tires, a comprehensive engine tune up, engine reseal, new coolant hoses, new injection pump belt, exhaust gaskets, engine lid struts, air conditioning service, plug wire set, and all fluids changed. It was then given a complete concours-level detail, ensuring that every surface was pristine. The white paint was polished using only a foam pad and polish, needing very little work to be brought to showroom standards. In all, an investment of over $125,000 was put into this white M1 to bring this car up to a concours "preservation-quality" level.  Now this stunning 1980 BMW M1 is ready for its next caretaker to enjoy driving or keeping it in a collection. Maintained and preserved to the highest standards â a rare example of BMW's most iconic sportscar. 

Usual

The M1 was the first mid-engine BMW to go into production, with the M1âs 24-valve twin-cam six also powering the late-â80s M5 sedan and M6 coupe. The motivation to build the M1 came from racing and a set of regulations prompted by the new Group Five in 1976. BMW found its aging CSLs losing against Porscheâs incredible new 935, and to beat them, BMW needed a mid-engined chassis to fit its twin-cam 3.5-litre six-cylinder engine. Officially introduced at the Paris Salon in October 1978, BMW quickly learned that the new M1 would not meet the requirements of the new Group Five regulations. It was a race car without a series. The BMW M1 is and was a very rare specimen: only 399 cars we're built for the street between 1979 and 1981.   This specific vehicle was produced on the 5th of January 1979 and is the 11th BMW M1 built. It's the first car in Blue, the first car registered in Germany and was delivered to BMW AG's Press Department on the 10th of January 1979. As a BMW Press Car it was driven and tested by wealthy and prominent clients. After that the car was imported in the USA and has been part a collection for a long time. In 2016 it was imported back to Germany and has been in a German collection since. The owner of the collection recently asked Oldenzaal Classics B.V. to prepare the car for sale. As with many collector M1's - it looked beautiful but was mechanically not ready to drive and enjoy.  Oldenzaal Classics B.V. then invested 450 hours in the car and went through the entire car bumper to bumper. An engine-out service including a new water pump, oil, ignition cables, and plugs. The engine itself has been rebuilt as well - it fires right up and sounds amazing. The KÃ¼gelfischer pump functions as it should and has been set-up correctly. The gearbox and differential have been rebuilt, re-sealed and is looking amazing. The brake-system has been rebuilt and new clutch cylinders have been mounted. The starter-motor and alternator have been rebuilt. Before proper road-testing the car it was 3D-Aligned so the car tracks as it should resulting in an effortless, amazing drive. The 24-valve M88 is screaming right behind you with an amazing inlet & exhaust-noise. It shifts precisely through the gears and everything on the car works as it should.   The body remains in beautiful shape: very straight, no damage and beautifully smooth paint in the original color. The tube-steel chassis was designed by Gianpaolo Dallara and remains in solid and straight condition, nicely protected and cleaned. The interior of the BMW M1 is a beautiful combination of 70's BMW switchgear and Italian design. Seats and door panels are also in amazing condition wearing the correct M1-only black/white cloth. Everything works and a correct Bavaria radio is installed. The carâs famous ZF âDoglegâ 5-speed Gearbox has also been rebuilt.  A quick summary of the work performed on and around the car:  â¢ Engine out service with new waterpump, valve adjustment  â¢ Checking and tuning of the Kugelfischer injection system  â¢ New sparkplugs, cap, rotor, plug leads  â¢ New fluids  â¢ Rebuilt 4 new brake cylinders  â¢ New brakefluid  â¢ Rebuilt clutch cylinders  â¢ New suspension bushings  â¢ Startmotor rebuild  â¢ Alternator rebuild  â¢ New battery  â¢ New tyres  â¢ Repaint of wheels  â¢ New Motorsport emblems + Campagnolo decals on wheels  â¢ New carpetset  â¢ New seatbelts  â¢ New shiftknob  â¢ Clean, paint and conserve the chassis and floors  â¢ Countless hours of testing, driving, adjusting and fiddling  Please contact our Ferrari Los Angeles Sales Team for further information or to schedule your appointment.
