This video shows why.

The 5GT should come with that kit standard so bystanders aren't blinded by its hideous appearance

We all know the i8 Spyder is being released soon, that would be my bet.

All good front engined convertibles have a cloth top.

It this show car appears to either have no roof at all, or a kludgy, erector set style roof like the Ferrari 550 Barchetta or a stupid hard panel like the 575 Superamerica. I suspect the folks that are calling this show car the M8 convertible are likely correct.
It's a G(J)29 based concept. It isn't the production roadster, but a hint of a possible future derivative however.

Bmw vapor ware vs the AM vanquish zagato. I think I know which will win over the "crowd" unless bmw shows up with a nearly production vehicle.

Given the direction BMW took with the E89 Z4 and really every BMW that came after it, I'm guessing this will be another numb and isolated slow seller. The Boxster is proof that there is still a market for roadsters, but the cars must drive like real roadsters.

That's what I'm saying. All good front engined convertibles have a cloth top.

It this show car appears to either have no roof at all, or a kludgy, erector set style roof like the Ferrari 550 Barchetta or a stupid hard panel like the 575 Superamerica. I suspect the folks that are calling this show car the M8 convertible are likely correct.

I wonder if Ferrari copied the Boxster Spyder on that Bikini top.

Looks horrible on the Ferrari, but fantastic on the Boxster.

Prob Z4, and it just looks different because it's a sketch and not a photograph

No way it's i8 spyder, they already had that concept in 2012... and the teaser is clearly a concept with its thin mirrors, so definitely not the production i8 spyder either

Looks like it's a two seater (roadster) so based on that my guess is it's the new Z4.
