WHAT IF THE M1 CAME BACK?
WHY THE M1?
BMW built an icon.
For nearly half a century, there was no second generation.
Its singular place in automotive history makes the unanswered question compelling: what could an M1 become today?
REVIVAL 001 is The Unbuilt Garage’s independent exploration of what we believe should come next.

— RENNSPORT
The race-bred, motorsport side of the M1.
— GRAN TURISMO
A road-going supercar engineered to cross continents, not only finish laps.
THREE ELEMENTS. THREE WORLDS. ONE M1.

DESIGNED TO BE AN M1.
The goal was not to replace the character of the original M1, but to move it forward.
The proportions, wedge architecture, low cabin, strong rear shoulders and unmistakable mid-engine stance remain central to the design.
Everything else is reinterpreted for a modern supercar.
Independent conceptual design study by The Unbuilt Garage. Not an official manufacturer project.
