[edit] M1 assembly
///M1's were reportedly *not* assembled by BMW Motorsport themselves because it would have intefered with production for other commercial ventures by BMW. According to the BMW M Registry, the fiberglass body panels & steel tube spaceframes were mostly constructed at ItalDesign in Italy, and the final assembly (powertrain, etc. by BWM Motorsport) was performed by Baur in Stuttgart(!) of all places. Could anybody else confirm/refute this?

In 2004, Sports Car International named the car number nine on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s.
Removed above. If you go to the link for top sports cars of 1970, 1970's #9 is awarded to the Dodge Challenger, not the BMW M1. Infact, bmw m1 isn't even listed anywhere on the ranks.
