Identify this S54 powered car

[Slideways]

I finally found some high res pictures of this car, but thought I'd see if anyone can identify the car first before posting. Looking for manufacturer, model name plus the edition (no reverse image searching lol)

I know what it is but I'll let others have some fun.

I think I know what it is. I've never seen any engine bay shots though, I'd love to see more after someone guesses.

Unfortunately googling “cars where the hood opens from the back” hasn’t given me much success. *white flag*

[E46 M3]

It's a Wiesmann, I can't remember the model numbers if there were any.

Yes, was hoping someone would mention the 20th Anniversary Edition cause they made 30 of them with the CSL engine

This is the Top Gear episode for those that have not seen it:

Engine lookin crispy.

Nothing sexier than an s54 with a carbon airbox.

I like how Wiesmann took a nice chunk out of the snorkel to make it clear the strut tower lol

That engine bay looks even sexier than CSL. But the interior? It makes the E46 M3 grey interior look good... as if someone dumped buckets of grey primer all over it. Not sure what they were going for but IMO that's a serious fail and a missed opportunity to make the car stand out even more...

From what I can tell, the original owners could spec them with whatever color or BBS wheel option Wiesmann had available. The interior resembles a TVR and I'm not a huge fan. I think a Z8 style interior would have been better. The exterior, on the other hand, is pretty cool, unique and striking for a roadster. The coupes look pretty badass as well - MF4, MF5.

The spec sheet states that the standard MF3 could be ordered with the 6 speed or SMG Getrag or even the 5 speed ZF unit from the Z3 M which I thought was interesting.
