Why not M1?

Why not M1?
The M1 name is reserved for the original M-car, the Giugiaro-bodied result of a joint effort between BMW and
Lamborghini to develop a production race car and build enough of them for homologation. The mid-engine car is powered by an advanced for its time, 277-horsepower, 3.5-liter twin-cam inline-six. Only 456 cars were made. Because of the car's special place in BMW's history, the M1 designation is not seen as a viable name for an ultimate 1 Series.
