The BMW M1 is powered by a 3.5L straight-six engine, which was co-developed with Lamborghini.

Yes, the BMW M1 does use the 3.5L straight-six engine, but it has been heavily modified and tuned by BMW Motorsport.

As an avid fan of the BMW M1, I can confirm that the engine is indeed the 3.5L straight-six, but it was originally designed for a Lamborghini project that never came to fruition.
