Baube ◊ 2017-04-12 18:05	i'd tend to say yes... but i don't know if dressing any BMW as a M was a popular thing back then as it is today

walter ◊ 2017-04-12 18:23	Or M535i?

993cc ◊ 2020-04-22 22:22	Here's an early I think 'official' publicity photo of one with no colour keying: Headrests or tints were not uncommon options on 'lesser' versions But I don't think it's conclusive. The wheels are imo. I think these are hubcaps on steel wheels like these: I can't imagine someone changing the special M535 wheels with steels. Unless it's not steels and I see things!
