Oho, today's DOTS is a very special machine - this is an E36 M3 that's been poked and prodded by BMW tuning house AC Schnitzer to produce something very unique and special. This is the ACS3 CLS, a street-legal touring car.

The modifications:

For the speed, it has upgraded camshafts and exhaust to give the I6 320bhp and 340Nm of torque.

To slow it down, perforated and ventilated all-round disc brakes have also been installed.

To make it handle, it has been lowered by 25mm and has "adjustable stabilisers" according to AC Schnizter's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

And to keep up appearances, a carbon-Kevlar bodykit enhances the looks and allows an increase in the width of the rear track. It also adds a carbon splitter and roof + rear spoilers.

On the inside, there are three lightweight bucket racing seats, with the third placed in the middle of the rear bench for what appears to be weight distribution reasons.

To complete the package, it comes with a manual gearbox and a Group-A touring car gauge cluster. Better pictures are available !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Oooh, check out those fender flares.

How much would this have cost you back in 1995? I don't know, but the answer is likely to be a a lot. Especially when you consider that this particular model is, allegedly, 1 of only 14. This car probably (which means it does) belong to a wealthy collector who keeps it as a garage queen. This car cannot be driven on the road in HK, mainly because it's not taxed and licensed and has no numberplate. Also, it's LHD, which proves to be a bit of a nuisance.

But still, what a car.
