OMG that has got to be the R8/ MB SLC competitor Bmw is building! I wonder if it will be an ///M only model? or a standard version and then an ///M on top? From the porportions it looks front engined, I hope the target weight of this "M1" successor to be around 2900lbs. anything more than 3000 would be a dissapointment. BMW HAS TO BUILD THIS!

If I didn't know any better I would say that this looks very close to what BMW showed on it's sketches back in 2005, BMW California Spyder: http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_sh...bmw/index.html

2900lbs will never happen. It'll be around the same weight as the R8. I'll bet you money.

which ones? The one in the picture you attached or the ones on the car in the video? The ones on the car in the video are obviously not 18's. The wheel in your attached picture looks like 5 bottle openers in a circle.

I am willing to bet this is hydrogen powered...

BMW has been building a super car that will change the playing field and make everyone stand on their head. They did not want to play the cat and mouse game any longer. They wanted to change how people looked at performance cars, from an efficiency stand point.

I really hope so, that'd be awesome and I agree that this cat and mouse bullshit is getting dumb because all that these companies are doing is adding more HP to their cars to compete with one another. Wow, how original.......NOT!

I remember BMW's hydrogen super car that set a speed record for hydrogen cars, but this was years ago, so I hope this is the new and refined version of that.
