Title: What the Z4 should have looked like
Post by: nuchpatrick on August 19, 2003, 02:42:03 PM: For being a BMW.. a Z4 with a 6L motor whoa :) This thing I would actually buy. Too bad it would prolly carry a price tag from hell.

Post by: funkedup on August 19, 2003, 10:12:09 PM: Seriously, what's up with the bloated front end? Is that some kind of attempt to get an extra high CG or something?
Or is it just an attempt by BMW to hide the tall strut towers of yet another sedan chassis under a "sports car" body?

Post by: Saurdaukar on August 19, 2003, 11:37:08 PM: It may be the precursor to the new hood hieght regulations that are supposed to be effective in Europe by 2005/2010.

You dont even want to know what their proposing... but if it goes through, the 'sports car' as we know it will be gone.

Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on August 20, 2003, 01:43:38 AM: I love the front, but I hate the short rear end. Elong the rear like a Jaguar Type E and I'm happy enought.

You mean body-wise? (all 3 series are based off the M3 body) If so, which? E36? E46? Or do you mean engine and body?

Post by: Saurdaukar on August 20, 2003, 08:28:44 AM: I think by 'original' he means the E30 chassis with the delicious S14.

Am I the only one that thinks that the E30 M3 interior was the best design... ever?

Post by: funkedup on August 20, 2003, 11:40:39 AM: I meant the original M3, the first version they made. The one that was actually a Group A homologation car. It won the DTM and was also a decent rally car.

Ah, yes, the 1987...very nice! 300-bhp M3 won eight international titles in its very first season. Acceleration to 62 mph in just five seconds and the top speed, depending on the transmission ratio, is about 174 mph.

Edit: Oops, 87, not 85.
