Nice but unfortunately i can't wait till then. I need to change my 5 with a more driver oriented car, and this idea which is not even in concept state is far away to production. Meaning like probably 2-3 years the least !
I can't wait till then....thinking of swapping to Porsche.
PS: This car should be here and NOW. Even without the full fantasy gadgets like ED stuff...

My Ride: 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S Convertible. Midnight Blue, 6 Speed.Retired - 2007 997 Carrera S, Midnight Blue, Grey leather, premium audioRetired - 2007 550i, Monaco Blue over Beige, Navigation, Logic 7, Cold Weather Pack, Comfort Access, Sport Package
Model Year: 2008
With BMW canning home runs like the CS and abandoning things like the M3 CSL, why would they entertain something like the Z10? It's too low volume, and BMW's profit collapse will take away any residual appetite for a "halo" car. My guess is this won't happen. I'd like it to - but I can't see it. BMW's belt is being pretty aggressively tightened these days.
