ch: yeah there are 52 weeks a year which means if production on this car started in 1978 (which it did), week 84 of production would mean the car was made in 1979.

here is my post on the bmw museum

Isn’t there 52 weeks in a year?

Have you been to the BMW Museum in Munich? It’s awesome. Got to see the GINA too :)

1979 BMW M1 VIN # WBS 5991000 4301231 An already rare and collectible automobile, the BMW M1 has begun a steady rise in value as more collectors recognize its significance and scarcity. The car offered here is even rarer!

I remember when those first came out and they were at the BMW dealership in Washington, DC. OMG the car was gorgeous and way ahead of its time in terms of technology. That is a real collector’s item. Somebody call Sheikh Nasser!

This is a super cool car, and some of us will never understand why buy a 1959 Merc for 150,000KD, I digress. In the early 70′s Italian manufacturer Lamborghini entered into an agreement with BMW to build a racing which resulted in the birth of the M1. the racing version were capable of producing around 850 hp. This is not a car, this is a piece of history and it is not meant for everyday driving.
