The BMW 700 was fully customized to give it the feel of a top end BMW M car. It was originally built in part by 3R Automotive. It was fitted with a custom body and a race-spec 110 horsepower (80 kW) 987 cc four cylinder engine derived from a BMW K100 motorcycle, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission, race suspension and brakes, and roll cage. It was topped off with a leather interior and upholstery derived from a BMW M3 and full climate control and sound system. It’s beautifully done.

The BMW 700 M would go along nicely with [this BMW Isetta 300](https://www.reddit.com/r/carporn/comments/1fipp2a/tiny_car_porn_bmw_isetta_300_with_the_m_package/).
Hot take: The M stripes are tacky and played out and slapping them on these old non performance models is peak boomer
If the rear end wasn’t so looooong it would look a lot better. Also ditching the corny M stripes would help
