BMW will not sit idle..... It is just a matter of what they build.

BMW in a way started the movement of main stream manufacturers into niche markets, the X5 broke the mould, they re-invented the Mini, they are trend setters. Their only problem centres around supercars.

You should look at the R8v8, but look at a supercharger conversion. That will give you the 500hp and similar amounts of torque, all packaged in an engine which will still rev to over 8000rpms. Plus the R8 though still not a light weight like an Elise does feel very light on it's feet, ever compared to lighter cars.
Trust me, no one will call you gay for choosing such a wonderful car.
