There are no plans to build it for production, there's no drivetrain or interior in the concept supposedly.

Just a tribute to the anniversary of the original M1, hence the name Hommage.

Very cool though!

Kind of strange that BMW doesn't have a car like that in the pipe though, with Audi doing well from the R8 and Nissan's GT-R and so on, it seems like BMW would like to have something a little cooler than just the even-more-reserved new M3.

Can't believe you guys think its ugly, I think one of the best looking most unique cars in years.

Kor kinda beat me to it, this isn't a production car, it is the M1 Homage Concept car. It was shown to everyone at Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este last week.

quite hot however.

BMW resurrected the spirit of its M1 with the recent unveiling of the M1 Hommage concept, and it looks as though the Bavarian supercar is once again headed to production, a new report finds. A time frame for the reborn M1 has yet to be announced, but a few other details have been revealed.

In an interview with Car magazine, BMW board member Herbert Diess revealed that the M1 Hommage concept will indeed make production. "We have the know-how, we have the right engine, we even have the infrastructure to build such a car," he said.

Despite Diess spilling the beans to Car, the British magazine is saving the goods for its July 2008 issue. However, Car's online site did reveal a little bit about the upcoming model.

Although the M1 Hommage concept has a strong connection to the M1 BMW produced between 1978 and 1981, the road-going version of the concept will not wear the M1 nameplate. A mid-engine setup will be part of the equation but, unlike the original, three engine choices will be available — presumably of the six, eight and ten-cylinder variety.

The production car will also sport ‘heron-wing’ doors and a driver-focused interior.

The July issue should hit newsstands in the U.S. later this week.
