Interesting that BMW seems to be headed away from the very thing that has made them one of the best selling cars in the world. When the car reaches end of life, BMWs become kids street rods or dedicated track cars. Lots of parts, great performance. Similar platforms (coupes) never see the track later in life.
I just sold my 2008 M Roadster and its performance always surprised the casual Vette, Mustang etc that revved up next to me at a light. If BMW wanted to compete against the Vette in the US, the Z4 platform with a V8 or similar high power turbo offering would be the key. I am always surprised at how little attention the RLL Z4s get in ALMS.
I guess not everyone wants to drive a clown shoe, but I would be get in line for a Z4 M Coupe with a V8.
