Why does the BMW M1 have a mid-mounted engine?

I've heard that the BMW M1 has a mid-mounted engine, but I'm not sure why this design choice was made. Can you explain the benefits and drawbacks of a mid-mounted engine in a car like the M1?

Hi Nora, the BMW M1 has a mid-mounted engine for better weight distribution and balance, which improves handling and performance. However, this design also means that maintenance and repairs can be more difficult.

The mid-mounted engine in the M1 allows for a low center of gravity, giving the car better stability and cornering ability. But it also means a smaller trunk space compared to front-engined cars.
