The BMW M Series was introduced to the non-racing community in 1978. The first M
Series car was numbered M1. The first M model was more of a car meant to be used
on race tracks than on roads. The first real M Series car meant for ordinary
drivers was The M535i. A point to note here is that several models from the BMW
family of cars were modified by the Motor Sports Division of BMW, but not all
were labeled M. The first M5351 was powered by M30 engine which had 6 cylinders.
The car had sports seats manufactured under the brand name Recaro and bigger
brakes. This version of the M Series was available until 1981 and BMW sold only
1410 of them.
The second generation vehicle came into the market in 1981. This car was powered
by a S30 engine which had 24 cylinders. This series of M cars were equipped with
windows that could be operated with the touch of a finger, all doors could be
locked at the same time with a single key, alloy tires and lights to combat the
fog. In mid 1987 the second generation M Series was replaced by a new car. It
came in two types, each with its own engine. The 525i was powered by the M20
engine while the 535i by The M30. The car was a huge success as it became known
for its safety. This vehicle was replaced in 1997 by another version of The M
Series which was powered by a 4.9 Liter S62 V8 engine. The car was equipped with
front and side airbags, an anti lock braking system and air conditioning.
The new generation of BMW M Series cars is available in two types, a coupe or a
roadster. Both are powered by a 3.2 Liter engine, which has 6 cylinders and 6
gears that can be handled manually. The vehicle has a strengthened front and
back body, 18 inch tires, and vehicle springs that have been made as if it was a
sports car. Also included leather seats, a music system with 10 speakers and the
ability to play CD and MP3 formats.
