Exclamation Did you know: E34 M5 Cabrio

BMW werkte aan dakloze M5 - AutoWeek.nl

Just spotted this article on another forum. Sorry the text is in a foreign language but no worries. Online translators are there for that.

-Summary-
-One M5 Cabrio ever built
- Price would have been £ 50,000
- BMW had already resevered a sport at the Geneva Auto Show. This
vert was going into production!
- One week before the world debut, the cord was pulled on the project
because BMW feard this would negatively affect the 3-Series market
segment.

Discuss...

i found out about it like 2 years ago. if they produced it, wouldve sold more than the e36 vert imo. because its different but it wouldnt fit the market anyway. useless project in a way.

I think it looks tits. She looks so much better than the e30/e36 cab imo, so what if it effected 3 series sales its not like they were losing sales to a different marque.
