Summary
This highly original 1981 BMW M1, chassis #348, was originally delivered in Inka Orange with a Schwarz leather and cloth interior. It spent over 30 years in a private museum collection in Japan, covering fewer than 8,000 kilometers during that time. The car remains in very well-preserved condition throughout, showing minimal wear and now records 12,838 kilometers, accompanied by its original owner's manual, service booklet, and tool roll.
