Just imagine how the performance of the car would have benefit from less weight..
On the other hand I really like how BMW reconnects their new cars with their history.. I barely see other auto makers doing that at major auto show!  |
Sadly, I feel that the only reason why they connect back to their great, old cars is to simply boost hype for the new car in addition to making a stupid attempt at being poetic.
Again, one can only dream of BMW actually making a ballsy move of creating a true successor via the M2...M2 CSL hopefully delivers, right? 400hp, 3000lbs or less, resculpted fenders that actually flare out a-la 1M (not that I hate the M2's current fenders)?
(I still like my idea of an S65 powered, aggressive, and light E89 Z4M better.)
