Have you ever seen a '78 M1 in the metal?

Saw this Had a poster of one of these when I was a kid, but almost forgot about how much I loved it. Still looks better than anything you see on the roads today. I do prefer the procar version though, the spoiler just adds something.

Has anyone actually driven one though, is it like they say, never drive your dream car?

My local BMW dealer has one... I've seen it in the maintenance department a couple of times..

No drives, though..

The 'metal' is GRP made by Lamborghini. Top Gear (TV program) drove one round the Isle of Man and loved it. I would trade my child for one (and she knows it).

I didn't get to drive it, but BMW had one at the BMW F12 M6 convertible and 6 Series Gran Coupe launch in Santa Barbara. I got to sit, no wedge, myself into it. There is no way I could ever drive it, there isn't enough room for my legs

There is a good driving review that is a combination of my feelings after seeing it in person and an insideline driving review -
