BMW Pace Cars

Was hoping someone could identify which BMW models have been used as pace cars in Formula One races. Thanks in advance.

My dream has been the M5 leading the F1 pack, but I fear Mercedes has a lock. Don't know why but never saw a BMW pace car. Did see some E39 Tourings in Australia though the weekend before last.

There is an E39 540i touring saftey car at Laguna Seca I believe, but I have never seen a BMW pace car either. An M5 pace car would be awsome, then BMW could sell a pace car edition M5 like the purple and yellow Corvette.

The MotoGP pace car is a silver Z8, and several X5s are used all around the circuit.
