I noticed that the first generation BMW M1, produced from 1978-1981, has a body made of fiberglass rather than the typical steel. Can you explain why this design choice was made and if it affects the performance of the car?
ReplyThe body of the BMW M1 was made of fiberglass to reduce the weight of the car and improve its performance. Fiberglass is a lightweight material, making it ideal for sports cars like the M1. This design choice was also influenced by the car's limited production numbers and the high costs associated with building a steel body.
