Well it would be about time for BMW to bring back the M Roadster (and Coupe). I was hugely disappointed that the E89 didn't get the M treatment, because if it had, it would have come with the S65. And if BMW had made a hardtop E89 with an S65 (that wasn't the $350K Z4 GT3), I'd have been all over it.
