BMW M CEO Frank van Meel said he would ‘love’ a new M1.
It has been nearly 50 years since BMW produced the last M1.
BMW had planned to launch a successor in 2022, but it launched the XM crossover instead.
The legendary BMW M1 might have only been around for a few short years, but its impact has been massive. It has been nearly half a century since the wedge-shaped, mid-engined supercar entered production, but it is one model that even today’s BMW executives can’t stop thinking about.
“I’m in love with the original M1, but I would love to do a new one," said Frank van Meel, BMW M’s boss, in an interview with BMWBlog. Oliver Heilmer, the head of M Design, echoed similar sentiments to the publication.
