Nowadays BMW M series have became quite big and it is expanding. M3 is available in coupe, cabriolet and sedan, BMW M5 as a sedan and universal, but M6 coupe and cabriolet. And also there is two Z4 M models. But if we take back to 80ties we can see that models of BMW M type where not so much. But we can’t say that BMW engineers and designers have did nothing because they made a BMW M5 cabriolet prototype which almost where started to produce, but at the last moment the producing was canceled.

The base was E34 generation M5. Muenchen’s engineers took of its roof, made stronger chassis and instead of four doors they set up two prolonged doors. An outcome – BMW M5 cabriolet prototype – was presented in 1989 at Geneva moto show. Even the price was defined for British market – 50000 British pounds.

However only one BMW M5 cabriolet was made that was equipped with program’s BMW Individual ZS number plates.
