This is no ordinary BMW M1, that much should be clear. For a start, it"s filthy. It"s spent quite a bit of time languishing its gifts away in a shed. And boy, does it have some gifts. Sure, it started out in life as a regular, really nice BMW M1 with a really nice straight-six engine in 1979. A chap named Harald Ertl bought it in 1981, and immediately began the process of making it more powerful. In collaboration with BP and their (then) new Autogas, Ertl converted the M1 to run on LPG, and whacked on a pair of KKK turbos to that sixer. So instead of making under 300bhp, it now made over 400bhp.
