As strange as it may sound to most drivers, the more rare and expensive a classic sports car is, the more chances you have of finding one with very few miles on the odometer and in pristine condition in the used car market.

Case in point, yet another very low mileage 1980 BMW M1 Coupe, which just came into the possession of Austin, Texas-based car dealer Motoreum.

“We recently acquired a pristine 1980 BMW M1 that has 2,200 miles [3,540 kilometers],” Andrea from Motoreum told Carscoop. “It just arrived to our shop and more photos will be posted by the end of next week.”

The dealer has not revealed how much it is asking for the classic BMW sports car.

The M1 remains the most important and the only mid-engine model to come out of the BMW M factory to date.

Conceived by Giorgetto Giugiaro’s Italdesign, the M1 features a mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 3.5-liter straight-six delivering 274-horses (277PS) coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.

The M1 can reach a top speed of 260 km/h or 162 mph.
