The BMW M1 (model code E26) is a mid-engined sports car produced by German automotive manufacturer BMW from 1978 to 1981. In the late 1970s, Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini entered into an agreement with BMW to build a production racing car in sufficient quantity for homologation, but conflicts arose that prompted BMW to produce the car themselves. It is the first mid-engine BMW automobile to be mass-produced the second is the i8 plug-in hybrid sports car. The BMW M1 is the first car to be solely developed by BMW M and employs a 3,453 cc (3.5 L) M88 1 petrol six-cylinder engine with Kugelfischer-Bosch mechanical fuel injection and Magneti-Marelli ignition system.
