Bmw Z2

Finally, a more affordable BMW for the US again! A 10 in. shorter and lighter version of the Z4, sounds like a super fun car to me. Hey Silverbeam, this may interest you...granted this car is a few years off.

Go back to when people were expecting the 4 series, the M1 and all kinds of nonsense. I don't see it happening. There is no need for something like that.

Mz2 with a Turbocharged 4-banger? Motorsport wouldn't do it, I don't think. Well maybe for nostalgia's sake..

I wouldn't take the computer designs TOO serious as they are rather preliminary at the moment.

In the mail today. Magazines tend to label their month one ahead of the current month they are out.

Car and Driver is always full of crap. A few issues ago, I read that they still think theres a 2/4 series coming out from BMW. Their up-to-dateness on BMWs and even the auto industry should be taken lightly.

Im glad my subscriptions done.

Looks cool, but probably won't happen, especially in the states.

M's will always be natrually aspirated. This car won't happen.

But I really wish either BMW or Porsche would build a hard core lotus style sports coupe.

2009 BMW Z2 w/ turbo 4-banger??

http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dl...20/1065/SEARCH

Looks like BMW is already in the process of developing a smaller model than the Z4 (the Z2), with the top model running a turbo-charged four cylinder (which is currently in development for a forthcoming hopped up 1-series)...

Tasty!

Looks like an E92 front smashed onto a midget Z4...not feeling it at all.

I call photoshop/artist rendering...the proportions just don't look right.
