I chuckled at news a couple years ago saying BMW no longer believes there's a market for such roadsters.

Sure the market has contracted, but the biggest problem was that the E89 Z4 was bloated, numb, and overpriced. Maybe if they had built a simple little sports car [like the Z3 and first iteration of the Z4] they wouldn't have had such poor sales.
A real shame since the E89 was a handsome car.
They made a mistake by keeping the M Division away from the E89 (sans racing).
Every previous Z that M touched became instant classics.

Just let the M Division bless this next one and let the results do the talking.
