Early this century I had a pale yellow M-Coupe. It's the only car I wish I still had!

In December 2001, I took delivery of a Toledo Blue E39 530i through the Performance Center Delivery program in Spartanburg, SC. (I became a huge fan of this program and have done it a couple more times since then.) Back then, before you took delivery of your car, there was a fleet of available models in the parking lot, and you picked whichever one you wanted to drive yourself the short distance over to the factory tour. The one I picked — and I'm still a little shocked it was available — was a blue Clown Shoe exactly like the one pictured in that story. Driving my new 5-series home later that day made me a lifelong BMW fan, but rowing the gearbox in that lovable M Coupe earlier in the day definitely did not hurt the cause.

great car—-drove a few times years ago. A friend bought one a few years ago and sold it. I loved how unhinged it felt under load and pressure—something I love about my 1M too but older M cars didn’t make you feel confident until you LEARNED it’s behaviour and I love that feeling.
from a time when sports cars were still sports cars and didn’t come with cringey gimmicks, AWD, and slush boxes.

I almost bit the bullet on a Boston Green / tan s52 car post Covid, but purchased an e28 instead.
One of the best color combos on any BMW, even more so on a clown shoe. Still on my short list of cars to pickup at some point. |

This car was like the XM; an experiment from BMW.
Only this car is actually cool and I wish I could have one. The XM on the other hand… |

I've done some fun runs with a bunch of clownshoe devotees in my Z4MC. They are definitely entertaining! The antiquated rear suspension can limit the cornering prowess somewhat, but nothing dampens the enjoyment. |

So goofy looking, yet so freaking cool. Quirky in a very good way!

Man... this brings back a funny moment from college.
I had a great thing going, I helped a sorority set up and run a charity car wash one Friday afternoon... IT WAS AMAZING!! A dude drove up in one of these and the girls laughed so hard the dude drove off... even after paying for a scrub-a-dub. (it looked like a small P3%!$ mobile they said.) Everytime I see one, I chuckle now
