BMW would never sell a GT3 style car for the road.
They did that once and that became a financial debacle. |
Of course not.
I was speaking metaphorically, not literally, my friend
You seem to have missed the part where I said homologation is supposed to yield a "street version", as in an S65 powered Z4 M for the road (the GT3 used the P65 homologated from the S65).
GT category cars are supposed to be based off of a production chassis/engine combo anyway. In a fair world a V8 E89 Z4 M would come first or come alongside the Z4 GT3/E/LM (just like what we're seeing with the M8 GTE).
It's just that BMW found a loophole so they didn't have to build an S65 Z4 M.
The two generations of Z-cars before got M Coupes and M Roadsters with M3 power.
For them to skip the E89 was a missed opportunity.
