Freaky and cool at the same time.
The BMW X5 Le Mans. A prototype X5 with the S70 V12 from the Mclaren F1.
I doubt that this was ever a serious contender for production. It was probably the engineers in Garching fooling around with a chassis and an engine to see what it would be like.
If it wasn't for engineers like this, we would never have had the E28 M5, when they took the engine out of the M1 and put it into an ordinary 5 series. This was the birth of the M division when engineers started messing around with racing engines and normal production chassis's.

Remember as a young fella getting a lift from a chap that was driving a red what to me is a 3 series bmw with a plate BSI 1 claimed it was a rare one all i remember the bloody doors were as heavy as feck he tried to skull a dog that he knew always chased the car when it came around the corner thankfully he missed the dog with the door when he opened it or it's head would have went through it's arse i checked it on mywheels all it comes up as is red 2.8L
anyone shed some light on the reg was there ever a bsi bmw????
Was it a 2 door, possibly an E24 628i. CSI appeared on a few E24 reg plates in the day.
It was a two door wasn't a six series though
Might have been an E21
No 2.8 available in a 3 series back then, the only other 2 door was an E24 Six.
Wasn't an e9 2800 was it ?

If it was an E9 it would only have been imported in '82 and given the '82 reg.
Its coming out on motor check as an '82 :wink:Quote:
