It's Chrome Shadow. They have used it on numerous concept models.

That M3 Wagon ticks a lot of boxes for me....damn! I'm kind of surprised that they haven't put something like that into production. That would be the perfect stable mate for my Z4MC.

That wasn't the X5 V12 LMR. It's one of two E53 M prototypes that followed. This particular one features the S62 from the E39 M5, RWD, SMG, and CF panels for weight reduction.

Great episode, IMO. It's always nice to see and hear these great machines being put through their paces. I started to wonder if I should have waited to get an M2 than buy my current car.


Regarding the e46 M3 wagon, I agree with those who thought that BMW should have moved forward with this. If Mercedes can offer the C63 in a wagon , why can't/didn't BMW? (

The production approval was conditional on the US market. The price increase was too great to generate anywhere near the needed volume.

I'd love an x5 m. But 110k is a bit steep. I'd pay up to 80-85k.

If the X5M is a bit steep, an M3 touring would be a vertical cliff.
