Jochen Neerpasch’s BMW M1 to be auctioned in November | Catch My Job

The BMW M1 is one of the most important cars in the brand’s history. even if it fails in the end Most of the racing career was a failure and it was a huge sales failure. All of these are incredibly expensive to build. It’s a car that has a lifetime. From planning, production to sales Where it all went wrong, however, it was still a great car and the one that helped shape what is the M Division we know today. And the mastermind behind the M1 was a man named Jochen Neerpasch, who headed BMW’s motorsport division in the 1970s, and Neerpasch’s M1 was up for auction in November.

It was Neerpasch who turned BMW’s Motorsport division into a racing icon in the late 70s. However, when it came time to replace the successful but aging CSL 3.0, Neerpasch had the idea for a mid-engine supercar. BMW lacked the resources to develop this, so Neerpasch turned to Lamborghini, who agreed to help. However, Lamborghini’s financial hardship forced it to back out at the last minute.

So BMW had Marchesi build the Giugiaro tubular chassis. The Baur body would be equipped with the BMW M-built engine. The entire car was then sent back to BMW for final assembly and inspection. The entire production was hugely expensive. And because the intended racing series was cancelled. therefore does not bring any money That’s why BMW has to sell it at such an attractive price and why it fails to sell. However, that doesn’t stop it from becoming an icon of enthusiasts.

due to low sales amazing look great engine And with superb handling, the BMW M1 is one of the most sought-after Bimmers in history. With a good example to easily pull seven numbers at auction. This one, which is headed up for auction and owned by Neerpasch himself, is likely to sell for a staggering sum.

This BMW M1 uses a unified gray on brown leather seats with fabric seats. It’s a nice combination and the interior is some of the best I’ve seen on an M1. The other three M1s are painted in the same gray paint. but none of them Also, no one owns the mastermind car. It was still in immaculate condition with a distance of only 63,000 kilometers.

Whoever buys this car will have an instant collectible. which is something that will continue to be appreciated for many decades to come. They will have to pay a lot of money for it. But it might end up being a smart investment. Hopefully whoever buys it will actually drive it.
