Volga 21 RCM: This one�s based on a BMW M3!

I�m sure most of you remember the customized Volga Coupe and Cabrios based on the BMW 850i and 650Ci Cabriolet respectively. Turns out though that the Russian love affair between Volga�s and BMW�s has been running on quite a few years as this customized Volga 21 RCM proves. Manufactured in 1997 by El Motors, the retro-fashioned 21 CPM is based on a 1994 E36 BMW M3 powered by the first gen 286Hp strong 6-cylinder 3.2.
