BMW pulled a surprise concept out of the hat at this year's Concorso dâ'Eleganza Villa dâ'Este event. The M1 Homage continues the company's recent habit of eulogising classic models with sculptural new concepts (witness 2006's Mille Miglia concept).
The details are lavish, with flutes, frills and slashes set into the curvaceous bodywork (although the proportions are appropriated almost line for line from Bracq's first generation car).
