The 1981 BMW M1 is one of the hidden Treasure Cars players can discover in Forza Horizon 6, and thankfully, it’s much easier to claim than the old-style Barn Finds. You do not need to wait through a restoration timer or complete a long event chain. Once you reach the correct location, you can simply collect the car and add it straight to your garage.

If you are trying to track it down for your collection, here is the exact place you need to go.

The BMW M1 Treasure Car Location

The car is hidden in the Hokubu region, which is located in the northern section of the map. The easiest way to find it is by using the elevated railway line as your main landmark.

Once you arrive in Hokubu, head toward the large railway bridge that crosses over the countryside. The BMW M1 is tucked underneath part of the bridge structure near several colorful farm fields and a small scaffolding area.

The exact spot sits slightly north of the main east-west highway running through the region. When you drive beneath the railway columns, keep an eye out for a hidden platform area near the base of the structure. The car is parked there waiting to be collected.

Unlike some hidden vehicles in the game, there are no puzzles or timers involved here. Simply drive up to the BMW M1, press the collect prompt, and it becomes yours instantly.

Why This Treasure Car Is Worth Finding

The BMW M1 is one of the more unique classic sports cars available in the game. It starts in B Class with a Performance Index of 510, making it a solid platform for tuning and upgrades.

Here are the stock specs once you unlock it:

• Class: B Class
• Performance Index: 510
• Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive
• Value: 600,000 Credits
  

Base performance stats:

• Speed: 5.9
• Handling: 4.5
• Acceleration: 4.4
• Launch: 3.1
• Braking: 3.2
• Offroad: 5.1
  

The car feels especially fun for players who enjoy older analog-style handling. It has that classic rear-wheel-drive balance that works well for road racing builds, cruising setups, and even vintage-inspired drift tunes.

Tips Before You Go Searching

A few things make the search easier:

• Use the drone camera if you have trouble spotting the exact platform under the bridge.
• Set a waypoint near the railway line rather than directly on the hidden location.
• Drive slowly once you enter the farming area because the car can be partially obscured by the bridge supports.
  

Many players miss the car the first time simply because they drive past the correct railway column too quickly.
