Looks like it has Mercedes SL in it... mixed with the stinger as someone mentioned. I would take a hard top convertible over the soft top any day. 50kg weight savings but looks awful ...

if I recall correctly... BMW said they wouldn't make an M model for E85 and they did.... and then they said the same for the E89.. and they actually held true and didn't.. So they have both bases covered. looks like a 50/50 proposition... |

Pretty sure that isn't true. By whose account? Have you read any of the PR or interviews from the other side? The joint platforum was co develop to meet the needs of both companies. It wasn't like the G29 had already existed or was already in development and then Toyota jumped on board.

Def an M version right here on the right - even has M mirrors. Come on BMW!

One of the pics show a 275/35R19 tire, so more than likely a 10.0-10.5 inch wheel, which won't fit the 2er.

Hopefully bmw is putting all hands on deck on finding better ways to all their M power down to the ground, beginning with wheel arch design |

My thoughts exactly. If this thing really has rubber that wide and real sports car DNA, it makes it that much more disappointing that BMW gave the coupe/hardtop rights to Toyota.

I agree with the posts that say that the car has Japanese proportions. The OTHER car that it reminds me of is the Mitsubishi Eclipse - with the raked front, and even a bit with the strakes on the sides.
I don't think all hope is lost. If the front end gets revised in an LCI it could be good. I'm also anxious to see it in blue and white. And finally... M Roadster... c'mon BMW. It's the obvious thing to do. It's what the enthusiast want. This is one of your CORE enthusiast model lines. Do not lose this opportunity. |
