yep, but it didn't stand out too much though. also a 320iS with had a 2.0 version of the M3 engine.

There was also an e46 AC Schnitzer allrad, in the spirit of the Volvo XC70, A jacked up 4wd semi off road estate

This has probably been done to death on here but it interests me - I was thinking about "rare" special models of cars the other day and would be keen to see other people's inputs:

You have all forgotten one of two of the classics.

The BMW e30 special editions. The M3 Sport Evolution

The e30 Europa Meister 88 Edition

The M3 Johnny Cecotto Edition

The M3 Roberto Ravaglia Edition.

The original "In Vogue" version of the Range Rover - some had the wheels finished in blue as well IIRC.

Tickford Capri:

That actuall car used be owned by someone that lived around the corner from me when I was a kid, it was brand new then, the bloke later had a 280 brooklands, one of the last one on a E plate, the bloke still has the brooklands and it still mint!

Another special edition my mate had was a 309 Goodwood, we were traveling down the M6 in it late one night and the sunroof glass just randomly shattered!

my uncle used to own a Capri broadspeed bullet, I couldn't find a picture they were a very rare thing even in their day.

Great topic by the way, it's educational! Love it!

Rover - BRM (-ish)

What was that rover 25 with the Orange bit in the front bumper.. drive past one on my communte every day!!

A few dealers sprayed the orange 'intake' silver to match the rest of the silver trim on the sides to sell them a bit quicker

Heathens!

BMW did a 4 wheel drive E30, the iX. Think it was just he 325s.

Would that be the only 4WD BMW, except for the X3/X5/X6 of course?
