Sorry, I do not have the source, but "In 1989, Motorsport engineers developed an M5 convertible, with two lengthened front doors and seating for four. It really did come very close to production - a price of 50,000 GBP was agreed, and space was even booked at the Geneva motor show. But one week before its intended debut, BMW 'killed' it, believing it would have led to a demand for non-M 5 Series convertibles, which might have dented drop-top 3 Series sales."

 

that is crazy!

 

Coolest BMW I have seen in a while.

neighbour has a '91 in white with twin turbos.

 

I don't really like it.

 

That's a very cool find, I like it a lot actually.

 

Is it the 8 series??

I wonder what happened to this model then, did they sell it to a collector or just keep it in storage?

 

cool car

 

Nice!

 

that would be one cool ride.

 

Pimpin'!
