I was driving home in Seattle on Thanksgiving weekend, and I saw a rather interesting RV or motorhome type vehicle take a left through the intersection. What caught my eye was the BMW roundel proudly displayed on the front. Never having seen one before I took a look as it drove off, and sure enough, there was the BMW roundel on the back, along with that familar BMW font to the right. I couldnt make out what model it said.
What did I see? It wasn't a full sized RV, but it was definitely bigger than say, a VW Vanagon. Anyone have pics?
Sorry, I don't have pics but I can give you some more details. The RV was called the Vixen and it was powered by the diesel engine form the 524 td. It was built in the '80's and supposedly cruised nicely at elevated speeds and handled very well for it's size. Saw one about two weeks ago here in Detroit.

I wouldn't mind one of these...or a Rialta...or even a nicely restored GMC motorhome (front-wheel-drive with a Toronado 455 V8)....

Ah...so it was basically a BMW powered motorhome. An interesting design, but it must be slow as hell with a 115 hp diesel.
