I like it. I've been complaining about BMWs having too much of a fat arse lately, and this would be a niiiice change.

Still just a prototype.

I cant say i like the body that much in all honesty. But then again i don?t really like roadsters full stop.

Also I?ve driven an M-Coupé with the S52 engine, and it was QUICK, I nearly hit a road island with it :eek:. A standard S52 engine has 321Bhp, I?m wondering whether they intend to up the power with the S54 engine with 343Bhp, or whether the quicker 0-62 time is down to the reduced weight, as the article is a bit inconclusive.

Also Gull Wing doors is a first for BMW, I wonder if this would ever reach production.

In some ways I wish I still worked for BMW, I was such a car buff back in the day. I sat in the new 7 Series before it was officially debuted in the UK, and got to play with the stupid I-drive. They were prepping it before all the photographers came in.

sweet looking ride. Hope it isn't outrageous in price.

-edit-
the aluminum and carbon fiber part makes me think, no way, however. hi dollar.
