BMW's higher end models (specifically M5/M6) are often classed as sub-super cars as they seem a bit tame compared to say - a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
Don't you think it's time to release a model which drops jaws design wise?

Man, looking at that photo puts all E60 body kits to shame doesn't it?

I may get slated for this but I thinks it's dreadful.
The lines are awful, Its like a couple of kids were given a half bottle of brandy and 2 pens and told to go to work.
It just seems to sit there and has no purpose to it.
As for the bump in the bonnet, I don't like it on the M3 or on any other car. Just my opinions of course.

I think it is hot...
That is not the M1...what was that going to be, like an 8 series?

EBMCS03 02-12-2009 06:34 AM

I like it. It looks unique enough.

But it does have too much M3 in it... so it wont be marked as "high end" as any Ferrari or Lambo or SLR

I think it looks stunning minus the stupid power bulge on the bonnet like Rev said........( I dont like them on any of the models either fwiw, too abrupt )

I like it, the car looks mean :devil: all it needs are some nice 20's! i like the bonnet bulges aswel! But then again i like them on the M3, and the e60 hood's with the bulges and scoops, but the car has to be quick enough to pull it off.

BMW definitely needs a supercar!

MB has their McLaren 722 and even Audi has their R8.... We really need some super-eye candy!!!!! C'mon, BMW!!!!!

BMW is a supercar :whistle:

Yes, I know what you mean.

But is it economically wise to build one?

BMW is a relatively small family company.

Fellas, this is a 2 yr old photoshop. Also, the M5 and M6 arent trying to compete with Ferrari's or the like. Would it be nice to see an M1? Yes but dont get your hopes up in this economic climate.
