    A few years back (mid 90s), Roundel Magazine had a paragraph or two about the marque of choice for car bombers and terrorists, listing a number of events since the 70's: BMW

    The greater the containment of a structure - the more explosive force it generates. If you contain an explosive - it generates much more force. I can see a BMW being a great car bomb canidate, due to its strong structure.

    I was trying to figure out the point of parking a car on top of a load of explosives.. I always figured car bombs were.. um.. 'portable' and disguised..

    Then I realized they were probably going to bury all the bombs and hope some soldier goes "OOOH M5!!".

    ****. That's evil.

    Over here in Bahrain(400 miles from Iraq), you could get an E34 "sport" in all trims, It had the M-tec sideskirts and rear apron, painted trim, and had a lower than standard ride height. Makes me wonder why it wasn't an option in the US.

    Default May be an M5 - I don't really care... point is...

    those bastards are trying to kill us. That's the issue, that's what pisses me off about the article... screw the M5 and the Iraqis.... all right, got to keep it on topic....but i will say that with all those BMWs over there it'd make a helluva nice parking lot - so what's the nicest parking lot but full of bimmers...?

    Known in Australia as a 535is (M-Tech kit).
    Came with M-Tech suspension, front and read spoilers side skirts and sports wheel and seats. etc. It was basically an M5 look without the 'go faster' & 'stop quicker' bits. I almost bought one last year... but I was too late!! DAMMIT!!
