    BMW M1 Coming Back...

    Full Article: 4 Retired Supercars Making a Comeback

    BMW is really stepping up with the M1 and the i8, I can't wait to see them on the road.

    There is definitely a super car in the works, but I haven't heard any sources call it an M1. Most sources call it the M8 or the i9 (BMW has trademarked i1-i9). There's a very high chance for hybrid technology too after the collaboration with Toyota for hybrid tech advancement and the upcoming Z4 replacement. Buzzfeeds description of the "new M1" is a bit extravagant as well. 2016 marks the centennial for BMW so tons of new announcements are likely within the next year.
    '95 325is in semi-rare Arctic Gray, clears, some ///M ​parts, and much more to come!

    I was under the impression the i8 was the spiritual successor the the M1 and that a "M1" wont be built. I also dont expect an i9 to be built anytime soon. Why would they? The i8 is just now hitting the roads...

    It would be a good platform to debut the lithium air battery technology they are codeveloping with Toyota. Supposedly double the range of any current technology.

    Also heard i9 was coming down the road. I hope BMW decides to revive the M1, even if its a limited amount.
