Rumour was that BMW had actually made a BMW M8 that had the McLaren spec BMW V12 under the hood (640hp) rather than the 850csi 404hp V12.

Who knows?
This post reminds me of the original Z3m v12 roadster that I saw back in 2000. BMW themselves actually made a couple supposedly as an exhaust sound tuning study....

Remember it having bright yellow exterior and blue leather interior. Not the most elegant combo, but it sure stood out in a crowd.
