Here's a cool looking concept by BMW to honour the BMW M1.....I'd definately buy one of these...

My friend has a Sauber built M1 silhouette car with Megatron (BMW) F1 turbo engine. Yep, that's right, a 1500 cc 1000 hp monster. Of course it is with modern EFI (Autronic) and most of the time he does not run it at high boost to preserve precious F1 gearbox, but usually at ~700 hp.
Driven it few times, at the moment it is in garage and apart, remake is in progress. He bought the car from Finland.

Here's few more photos of the car (he went to drag event, organizers asked him to showcase the car, drove 11,1 @ 214 km/h with cold track slicks):
