So awesome! I wonder how many are left today of the 456 built!

[funkedelic2]

Reminds me of a DeLorean

Cool spot none the less.

Rare, not aging well at all, I cannot think of a BMW aging so poorly. Well next to an X6. Nice application of wheel weights to the outside of the rim, someone has been to Canadian Tire or Wally World. Searched around, rare to find one for sale:

At 250K I'd rather have a Pacer and 245K in my bank account.

Those rims are the best part of the car. I would rock those on anything, especially my minivan.

You can't get a quality balance with the weights behind the spoke. you might as well use a bubble balancer from the 50's.

you are being pretty generous to the pacer. Unless its "Cherry" (said in a falsetto style voice).

[Twenty]

Woah! I didn't know there were any in town.

[dirtsniffer]

In the early 80's I used to have a poster of the M1. But that was back when they were relatively new...kept that on my wall until about 1988. It was a White M1 and was very cool back then...never saw one in person...so cool spot for sure.

Wasn't the 1988 M5 pretty rare too? First year of the M5, only 500 built for North America and just 50 came in to Canada? Going off memory here, wonder what the mighty internet says...I think they were all black. I think all the ones that came to Canada were black with tan interior...

That was back when owning an "M" BMW was special.

Now everyone and there dog seems to have one. And if they don't actually have one they just buy a badge and slap it on whatever piece of shit bimmer they drive. :thumbsdow

Some of us still buy them for the cars they are, sadly I couldn't afford a M.

The 95 Canadian Eurospec M3 was rarer. Only 42 of 43 Came to Canada. The 43rd was damaged on transit and send back.

The 1995 M540i is still rarer, with only 32 ever made. Their are around 5 of them in Calgary.

The E36 M3 GTR sent to Australia is the rarest M3 out their, with only 15 ever being made.

Of course their was the M8 Prototype, as well as the E46 M3 Touring prototype, but those are one off cars.

There was a white one for sale with original 15,000 KM listed in Dupont R a few months ago. It even had the blue/red stripes on it, very cool. It was owned by a Datuk in Malaysia.
