I went by a large Mercedes Benz dealer today, and they have nothing that competes with the Z4 or this concept coupe. The SL is pretty, but it's large and heavy and in Porsche 911 pricing territory $165k+(and that's for just the baby V8, the 55).

Other elegant options are the Lotus Emira and the 911 - no offense to 718 owners but the Cayman is hardly elegant. The concept Coupe looks much nicer than the Supra, highly doubt these are the same buyers.

I believe the market does have space for this coupe if they price it right, especially if BMW provides a manual option.

IMHO, the Supra buyer will definitely not be targeted by BMW for this coupe. If priced correctly it will sell out quickly.

Exactly
And there is a lot of target market out there based on the other options.

Unfortunately, I think you are correct. 😢

Love it!

before this car had the 2007 Z4M coupe (one of I think 3132) and just love that styling. Sold it few years back. And loved how rare it was.
There is a shooting brake ferrari in our neighborhood I rarely see that I love as well. This new one looks awesome! Rarity is a huge draw in this world of cookie cutter cars.
