M5
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."

What a strange, yet strangely alluring car.
Good find, Dan.

Very, very nice
seats. 
It all looks great. What a pity they canned it.

Velour seats with M stripes - cool!

That would have been a floppy load of old toot to drive.
I have seen lidless and soggy shoe boxes that have greater structural rigidity than that.

Ah, but how many shoeboxes have whacking great 6-bangers powering them?
