Remember this BMW M Coupe and how it established itself as one of the elite race cars of its time?   Yeah, neither do I.

As I was digging through old files on my hard-drive I came across what I still think is one of the cooler looking cars (street version or race version) that BMW built.  A search for the history of this cars reveals little to nothing, which is sad.

But, on the other hand it’s really cool — this car was built by BMW Motorsport and appears to be thoroughly thought-out.

What was the point of this car?  Why did they do it?

While the real answer may exist in a folder in Munich somewhere, I guess I’m okay never knowing why.  It’s just cool that it exists.
