thiss gives me hopes but considering BMW dumped the M3 CSL R&D, focusing on X5 M and X6 M (bad move imho) i doubt they will have a supercar in mind
"O $hit what have we done X5 M and X6 M are $hit just like the 3er compact and no 1 is buying them :thumbsdown:

BMW won't build it unfortunately. They have been telling the automotive trade press that they would not build a supercar even though they had thought about it.
Supercars generally lose money but they are great for brand image.

I'm afraid you're bang on the money, sdg... Shame, as something this would be great for BMW but the return on the investment for cars like this is low, and probably can't be justified in he current environment

Wow... I'm speechless. Close to being in tears really... that being due to the fact that I know this will never come into production. It looks like sex on wheels... Hell, I would sell all my stocks just to buy me one of these! I love it... I wonder if someone would be able to customise one built with an M3 frame and engine, but with HPF stage3... I can only dream.
