The one and only BMW M5 Convertible (E34) and BMW M5 Touring E39 manufactured from BMW M GmbH

"BMW has finally confirmed that it developed an M5 convertible 20 years ago, but canned it a week before it was due to be launched due to sales concerns."

Does anyone understand why BMW never actually released the M5T? The E34 M5T was excellent and Audi had also started doing 'super' estates. If the E39 M5T had been available I would have one of those instead of a saloon for sure
