A passionate BMW fan who owns every BMW M car on sale has added a restored BMW M1 to his collection. The proud owner, Masakuni Hosobuchi, who is the chairman of BMW Club Japan, received a fully restored M1 at the BMW Welt.
The M1 was designed based on his ideas and is painted with certain sections from the famous race track – Nurburgring. The M1 was made from 1978 to 1981 and featured a twin-cam 3.5-litre six-cylinder petrol engine churning out 273bhp and capable of hitting a top speed of 260kmph.
“BMWs are my passion and the Procar sure gets a place of honor in my collection,” Hosobushi commented. “It was very important to me, the vehicle after years of racing reproduce its former glory. And who could have done this better than the manufacturers themselves. It also gives me great pleasure that I can take reception of this car in the BMW Welt between all the new cars.” (sic)
It is every man’s dream to own all the cars that he wants, but only a few like Hosobuchi can achieve it. We appreciate this man’s passion to own every M model BMW that has been on sale.
