Of course, that doens't exactly fit with their brand values these days. The S63 would be the next obvious choice, and probably cheaper. Certainly lighter. We'll see if they do it. There's talk of an M1 revival, so it would make sense to use an existing platform if they do decide to build it. |
off-topic, but was the 1-series or the e86/e89 Z4s based on other platforms? Is there any reasoning why they didn't try to make those mid-engine to your knowledge?
