Heads up to BMW corporate, just to let you know convertibles are prohibited from BMWCCA HPDE in my area. I could see that being similar in other areas of the US.
A BMW sports coupe would be ideal. Last edited by hellrotm; 08-18-2017 at 10:08 PM.. |

Someone should 'shop regular mirrors on it (the kind that production BMWs get) so it's a bit more realistic. Other than that I like it!

As we have all seen from the spy shots and concept unveils, the Supra and the Z4, although they share platform and likely engine choices, don't exactly share the same body panels. So even though a coupe version of the platform exist, it doesn't necessarily mean that the coupe can be sold as a BMW as it's current iteration. There'll still need to be a coupe version built, perhaps, using the Toyota Coupes A, B, C pillar, roof, and hatch. Or a new roof and hatch for the BMW roadster ala the E85/E86 siblings.

I'm a little worried that BMW's agreement with Toyota involves Toyota being the sole manufacturer of coupes and BMW with convertibles on this platform.
With that said, even if z4 remains a convertible, it should still be a blast to drive. No one ever complains about the 718 boxster being a flimsy ride or outright inferior to the cayman. Z4 coupe would be my choice given the two. Although I'd love to own a Z4 convertible someday. |

Wow that Coupe rendering is amazing! And absolutely YES build this. Looks even better than the vert.

I've bought five other bimmers after that, currently own 4. Obviously would buy a new one without being price sensitive even though cars in Greece are seriously expensive. I would assume there are there are a few thousand of devotees in the US, let alone the rest of the world. Had it not been for the e86, I would have probably never bought a BMW. Can't imagine BMW factors in people like us in any business models of theirs. I think that this type of car is value accretive to the brand far beyond sales figures suggest. |
