The BMW M1 is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by BMW from 1978 to 1981. Styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, the M1 was created out of a collaboration BMW had with Lamborghini to produce a race car for homologation purposes, with this being the result. The car is powered by a 3.5L M88 inline-6 mated to a 5-speed manual; it is the first mid-engined BMW automobile to reach mass production. The car was hand-built; its fiberglass body was manufactured by Trattamento Italiano Resina and its chassis by Marchesi in Italy and the body partially completed at Italdesign, whereupon the car would be shipped to Karosserie Baur for final assembly. 453 were produced, of which 399 were road-going models; this makes the M1 one of BMW's most rare and desirable models.
This casting has been released with different names including Wind Splitter, Street Dog and Street Beast. This was the first BMW casting made by Hot Wheels.
