BMW’s M GmbH division was started in 1972 and quickly got down to business with its first car, the BMW 3.0 CSL. The CSL’s was very successful on the track which quickly meant things heated up at BMW and the brand decided to extend the M brand into the production car arena. The next car on from BMW’s M division was the BMW M1 supercar launched in 1978. Since then, the M division has been on an epic roll, creating some amazing machinery us car guys can’t get enough of.
