Like Porsche did with the 911, BMW should have kept the original E9 going in to the 90's. Bigger engines, better suspension..... They hit a home run with the original's styling.

Looks like a Supra with a body kit from the side.

Part of me likes it, part of me doesn't. I think the part of me that likes BMWs doesn't like it.

If that is going to be the replacement for the Z4 in GT racing here and its going to be a GT3 variant, I could definitely get into that. but its a bit much for a street car.

Looks like ****!

I wonder how much energy conservation is achieved in designing a car to look like that? vs the design of the older CSL?

It looks like it has those stick-on eyelashes that you see on Hyundai's and New Beetles driven by old ladies....

I like the back end tho

+1.

The proportions from the side view aren't bad, but the detailing is hideous. The front view is downright offensive.

May not be to everyone's taste, but at least not another wind tunnel clone.
