This traffic jam consists of ALL the M class cars ever produced. I learned that the M635csi is a true collector’s piece because it’s just a good looking car, the first generation M5 came in other<\/em> colors besides black, and the first M3 (E30) is still a good looking car and the previous M3 (E46) looks pretty damn good too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the headphones hanging in front of the engines? That’s so you can listen to the engines rev from idle, up the rev band to red line and back down to idle again<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before the M division made cars for us to drive, they made engines for Formula 1 teams. This is the Brabham BT54 type that Nelson Piquet drove in the 1985 Campaign<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
