Yup. BMW needs to do a Retromod E30. It'd sell like hot cakes.

They had a decent candidate with the F22. An m-lite 233is with a 3l na stick pumping out 330-350 hp would have been an amazing car. I don’t think it’s possible on the CLAR platform.

Omg what did I just see?

[eljay]

Hmmm... is that exhaust real or are they just putting a pair of speakers there with disco smoke generator?!

The roadster is dead. Long live the roadster!

[TigahRouge]

I like it…front end reminiscent of shark nosed 6 series coupe…sign me up!!

[8MW]

Love it! Can’t wait for the turbo touring edition, take my💰

[louderthanschnell]

Somehow it reminds me of an elegant boat, shows some nice details like the hood, in general is a good looking car.

Finally a potential new bmw that actually looks good
About time

In part because the color is meh… 🫤

Oh they knew from the start this is the design for future before the beaver grilles were released.

Anything good and clean futuristic looking, they delay by 10 years. Back then competition was with Alfa Romeo hence the beaver grilles were born.

This is the way it should have been from the start.

Starts at $140,000 aka BMW XM cousin

Kinda safe design i would guess but thats nice for those who likes this design over the new one. Good that BMW can cater to a wide market and styles :-) Looks a bit like the 8 series combined with the polestar 4 back, and what is up with the copper tint on their car releasees or am i imagining stuff here.

I was thinking the same thing about the old 6 series, but that's why I liked it. A little retro thrown in. I see old 6 and 8 thrown in.

This looks like an evolution of the 6 series, specifically the F12. The F generation 6 series was the best looking BMW Series in modern history.

[GOLFFRR]

that is wild

[cncmastr]

Looks nice, for once.

[KRS_SN]

The 6 series convertible and the 8 series. 2 of the prettiest in the bmw line up merge and this is born. It's nothing groundbreaking but a nod back to good design roots.

Nice but do you remember Gran Lusso Coupe Concept in 2013? It was old already in 2013. Just like Skytop now. Old concept. Nothing more.

It’s called a 2006-2008 Z4M
You can go buy one for 35,000 and no emissions fees.

And unfortunately not many bought them which is why they stopped making it.

I had one and it’s the only car I regret selling (had a kid and couldn’t afford multiple cars at the time)

[Bezerk]

I kinda like it, not really convinced yet.
Love the wheels, though you would have to take a week off just to clean those.
