      It wasn't made by BMW, but had its V-12 powering it. The Italdesign Columbus could be one of those vehicles that the "Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015" allows 325 cars a year or less to be made by small manufacturers.

    I drove a stretched 1962 Plymouth 12-seater something-or-another, with 11 passengers entrusted to me, during the 1976 summer season of the Santa Fe Opera. It had been in service from LaGuardia into Manhattan prior to being picked up by a father-son operation. The drove two other similarly configured vehicles. With $7 a night pay, free standing-room only at the performance, and a free soft-drink at intermission(s), it was a great "extra" job for a college student.

      In the Time after WW1 up to 1936,many People had the Idea, to put Profit from the Prop, by taken it into a Vehicle.But its a Horror to drive.A Bicycle with a Prop is easy,because you put all together and take it on the Back like a Backpack.
      But your Brakes are not good for this Speed and you cant easy Stop at a red Light.Its like the Turbinecar,it blows like a Jetengine ,Imagine what the the
      Driver in the Back would say ,if his Car is taking Fire.Planes had other methods
      to Brake(thrust reverser and stuff like that).Dont do it on Street,its only on
      a Racetrac legal.

    Musk would be proud of the Bubble Top. My favorite is the Oldsmobile Limo.

    Columbus is nice and so is that last Cadillac looking futuristic car but that Toronado I'm in love with it 💓 AQC Jetway 707 lol I'd just call it my Limonado 😁
