That's probably because the Z8 was a piece of junk, have you ever driven or even been in one? I hope they go for it, the R8 is a huge success, I see them all over the place in San Diego and the same goes for the Mercedes SLS which I see on what seems like a weekly basis. Would be great to have a BMW competitor to those cars.

Ya it was a little confused to say the least. It rode like hell for a luxury car and didn't have a very sporty suspension to make up for it.

This looks promising. How about the Z9 project?

Yep, that's the F20 which will be available in two design lines, urban and sport, or red and blue in this campaign.

Best regards,

jozsika · 05-24-2011, 08:42 PM

Still available?

auggiem3 · 05-24-2011, 08:59 PM

i say go through the design and then put the engineering intelligence in the existing m range...

LemonOne · 05-24-2011, 09:01 PM

Overrated? Is there anyone that even likes it? I know two people who had them and both got rid of them fairly quickly. In hind sight calling it junk was harsh, but it wasn't a worthy halo car for BMW when standard production BMWs are so brilliant.

Scott, remind me to fedex you a case of beer for providing the community with all this fantastic information. We really appreciate it.

It's one thing to put an M badge on a car that's obviously not a M but labelling a car from another manufacturer? That's the first time I've ever seen such a thing! LOL

He was probably pissed cause he bought the V8 version before the V10 came out so he said f it I'm switching to the better brand, BMW. Haha

I keep hearing about the radical 6 cylinder and it's making me very excited.

Bmw has always been strong in cars which can be used in a daily basis. Thats why i choose bmw also.

If i want a super car i certainly not going to buy a M one from Bmw.

They are suggesting it will compete with the R8 as opposed to more expensive Ferraris or Lambos.
