  • moocowrat, on 04/30/2008, -7/+31i'd love to wrap that around a telephone pole.
  • IKE33, on 04/30/2008, -35/+52That's one concept car that should not be made... it's just completely hideous.
  • etnuts, on 04/30/2008, -2/+12it looks like a muscle car built buy europeans

    and i mean that in a good way
  • FapCommander, on 04/30/2008, -1/+9So it's faster and can go round corners
  • Gloibin, on 04/30/2008, -0/+8A few days late, but great to see a tribute to one of the most inadvertently storied cars in existence.

    Oh, and original M1 in white with ///M colored stripes = win.
  • threemagic, on 04/30/2008, -27/+35That's one concept car that should be made...it's just beautiful
  • Sibre, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7You'll have to sell both.
  • Sibre, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7That's what she said?
  • fahrvergnuugen, on 04/30/2008, -4/+10This is soooo much better than the ridiculous "flame" design of their current line up.
  • happybot, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6It looks like an angry bull flaring its nostrils.
  • inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Same wheels from the 80's?
  • fahrvergnuugen, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5Flame: http://images.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/112_ ...

    Bad ass squareness: http://www.dcr62.net/Web%20Page%20Pics/Front%20Cov ...
  • mggs, on 04/30/2008, -3/+7I love it, especially the hidden headlights. It looks like a very angry lion.
  • RealHyperX, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4The wheels look like crap though. Reminds me of old tin toys. The rest of the car is great!
  • RubineBoy, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5THANKS!
    But an american muscle car would be affordable, a european one not.
  • icecycles, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3The car is great, but the rims are terrible
  • RealHyperX, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3And like I pointed out in my column, this will confuse a lot of car folks.
  • dondara, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3Bah, sell somebody else's
  • OisinT, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3uh. the m1 is not related to the 1series currently out.
  • synagence, on 04/30/2008, -2/+5One word.... fugly
  • SonicTitan, on 04/30/2008, -1/+4Gorgeous, except for the wheels. But then I never did like the ones on the original M1, so as a homage I guess it works well.
  • pappas215, on 04/30/2008, -4/+6sick!
  • OisinT, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2it'll confuse a lot of non car folks imo. most people who like cars will know of the original m1
  • CrunchyDeluxe, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Eh... that front end looks too much like the new Camaro... but ugly.
  • dmurray14, on 04/30/2008, -4/+6Um, they were thinking its a homage to the original M1, which had similar wheels...
  • dsmx, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Pity the corvette is given suspension so hard that you can't drive it on roads, round a track it's fine though but it will still be beaten by an Ariel Atom.
  • leto78, on 04/30/2008, -3/+5The car looks great but they should fire the guy that did the 3D rendering. It doesn't look at all like it is part of the environment. The light and the shadows are all wrong.
  • shouldnot, on 04/30/2008, -4/+6oh bmw you did it again, just a beautiful car
  • Ninjao, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3I really hope they push the performance on this one. It's been awhile since BMW have made an extreme performance car.
  • moofer, on 04/30/2008, -2/+4That's kinda how digg works. Digg up the people you agree with, down the ones you don't. You new here?

    BTW... dugg you down. I think the car is beautiful.
  • coolbru, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Looks like a flattened deTomaso Pantera.
  • Roguecop, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Clarkson will probably rip it to shreds but just wait till 'The Stig' gets his hand on it.
  • BXRWXR, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I think it looks cool.
  • rizzo2008, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1looks horrible. Terrible homage to a fantastic car
  • BigPapi, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1The R8's a great car, but I wouldn't exactly call it pretty.
  • drastik21, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I've seen some uglier concept cars in my time.
  • CLYF, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I came.
  • anatraj, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Well... did she say it or not??
  • 80hd, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Everything is returning to 80's styling.
    Remind me not to buy a car in the next decade
  • crashlock, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Maybe but that still doesn't save them from being ugly UFO pimp *****.
  • namelessNN, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1lol this has to be a joke. that thing is hideous.
  • scarwars, on 04/30/2008, -2/+3and that is why Americans keep making those horrible looking cars..just for peeps like you
  • RobertGoulet, on 04/30/2008, -3/+4That..... is the ugliest thing i have ever seen.
  • n3tfury, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1M cars ftw.
  • n3tfury, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1you're an idiot. what don't you get about the word "concept"
  • radix2, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1those wheels are an update on the original M1's http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/vehicles/ro ... (warning - autoplay embedded video on page)
  • Sibre, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I wasn't paying much attention to what was actually being said...
  • 80hd, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I don't know. Reminds me of Knight rider
  • bowe, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1reminds me of the hideous 1999 GTO concept

  • eavesdrop, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1BMW M1 is a legend but this body is ugly, hopefully what ends up being produced for customers is nothing like this.
