I wasn't aware there was such a prototype. Looks classy:
"Looking back at the eighties, everyone agrees there were indeed crazy times. And in those crazy times, BMW decided to built a M5 Convertible. In 1989, Motorsport engineers developed an M5 convertible, with two lengthened front doors and four seats. The space was reserved at the Geneva Motor Show and the price was set at 50,000 GBP, so everything was good to go. One week before the great unveiling, BMW officials decided to kill the project. The main fear was that the essential non 'M' 5-Series drop top models would be positioned too close to the thriving 3-Series Convertible. No official pictures were ever released by M GmBH until now, the 25th year of the M5."
