BMW M5 Convertible?

Saw this on the Top Gear website, thought it was pretty interesting. Not a bad looking car at all.

Foo, betchoo didn't read the article. It's an old M5 that's been chopped and rebuilt as a vert.

That hasn't been chopped and re-built, it's an actual BMW prototype from 1989.

what makes you say that it has been ruined?

it's not a chop job, but an official concept

in spirit, this car is not much different than an e93 335i

I agree, it's not a photoshop, just a car that never made into production due to costs and not having a market for it at that time. We posted an article on that before the TopGear one and explained more things.

Good looking car though!
