In the late 70\u2019s BMW created a racing division and the M1 (code name E26) was their first project. The main reason for the project was to homologate the car for racing and to have a model that could compete with Porsche, especially at Le Mans. The body was designed by none other than Giorgetto Giugiaro, while the chassis would be designed by Dallara, and the engine would be designed and built by Lamborghini. Since Lamborghini was having financial issues (like bankruptcy), BMW took over the engine project, and created the <a class=\"postlink\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/3\/30\/Bmw_m88.jpg\/800px-Bmw_m88.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">M88\/1<\/a> engine. The M88\/1 was an inline-6 with 3497 cm\u00b3, DOHC and with 24 valves, tamed by a 5-speed manual gearbox. All in all the M1 was produced from 1978 to 1981, and a total of 453 cars were produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/a-h\/bmw_m1_71_02.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cM\u00fcnchen\u201d\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The M\u00fcnchen is my second favorite Le Mans M1.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After 1971 Le Mans-winner Helmut Marko retired from racing.
