Car is a roach. Mileage is suspect. Total repaint. Not original engine. I had it checked out by a classic BMW expert and it is entirely not as described. Since the M88 engine was used in a few later cars the motor might not even be from a M1. Sad, since these great cars come up for sale so infrequently.

And just to clarify, the BMW M1 was only built from 1978-1981. No such thing as a 1988 M1.

Car is not as described. As of Aug. 7 2012, vehicle has no proof of mileage car has been completely repaintedand is non matching numbers. Only documents are from 1997 when car was brought from Germany to Mexico. Video of the car driving in Mexico is avaliable on line
Just type in the chassis number. Undercarriage looks like it has been spray painted. Very suspect!

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!
