***Wimmer Munich Sightings Part 13***

More old pictures.

BMW E39 5-Series Police Cruiser


Corvette C5 cruising through traffic






VW Thing



Fiat 500 followed by another Fiat 500 a few seconds later, same street.



Bentley Continental GT



Audi S6


Audi S8



Chevrolet Suburban


Cadillac Seville


BMW E39 Touring Police Cruiser. The cops inside must have been like "***!?" when they saw me.


Looked like some tuned Porsche, or with a terrible body kit.



BMW M5


Whoa! BMW X6, Bentley Continental GT and another BMW X6 with a temporary license plate. Must be a North American doing the European Delivery Program!



Mercedes SL55 AMG from Switzerland.


Volvo 244DL Taxi I believe.


BMW 3er Police Cruisers


Badass looking Cayenne


Mercedes C43 AMG - hot. The W202 C-Class looked classy, but it looked really cool in AMG trim.



Hummer H2 - make sure you guys drink PIMP JUICE!


BMW M3



Porsche 997 Turbo



This is where I panicked because I spotted the new BMW 7-Series (this was way before its official release). My camera wasn't set properly so the pictures are really bad.







Alpina BMW Z8





Nuevo Fiat 500


Porsche 997 Turbo Convertible



Porsche Cayman in white. Looking good.


Porsche 996 Turbo


Audi A4 S-Line trim - very tastefully done.




Toyota Landcruiser - excuse me, sorry, my bad! Lexus LX470. Sorry! They look so similar!!!



Hope you liked the pictures.

Actually this was a post-World War II design based on the Kübelwagen.

Re: ***Wimmer Munich Sightings Part 13***

@Vroom Vroom > Not really - it's a VW Type 181 (developed in the late 60s as a successor of the (two-stroke) DKW Munga).

I think you're talking about the Kuebelwagen - Type 82 - which was based on the KdF-Wagen (Beetle). It's production started when WW II began:




@Christian > Great pics (as always)

Edit: Obviously I was too slow

Re: ***Wimmer Munich Sightings Part 13***

Love the Alpina Z8!! What a beautiful roadster - well, less power then the original one, but fitted with Automatic transmission... ...but those wheels are stunning!!

Z4 or Z8?

Wait, did they come with an automatic transmission? I know the regular Z8 was M/T only, but the Alpina was A/T???

You're right the Z8 came only with manual transmission and the 400 hp engine. The special think about the Alpina Roadster is, that it was only available with an Automatic transmissio and 380 hp! So less power, more comfort...

Alpina is like Mercedes AMG. A definite emphasis on comfort and luxury.

Re: ***Wimmer Munich Sightings Part 13***

I want to have a performance version of the Z8 so I sent it to Alpina and they took away 20HP and added a manual transmission.





Detuned engine to pass emission tests.
