Wwho knows which car is arguably the 1st ///M car?

[Jerez]

And its not the ///M1,so if you find it or have it in South Africa - restore and put it away in storage.

530mle??

 

[protegetech]

The first ///M car I think is the ///M535i / MLE E12, could be wrong

 

[Jerez]

Perfect - you guys are correct

530mle - complete with Italvolante steering battery in boot and drilled everything...pity my uncle sprayed his henna red and sold it for R6k some 23 years ago

And if memory serves, from what Sith told us, the MLE's are not all exactly the same. Later models came with other trim like different boot spoilers. I'll stop now before I post nonsense and get shouted at :mmm:
