I know the Z4 M is a real "M", I was just talking on how they'd likely name it, if they came out with the M1.

right, but the point im making is that when BMW does M635i or whatever, it means its not a full M car. it wouldnt be blasphemous or anything thats not been done before to make the current as it is 135i be called the M135i.

Wait, so are all of the Z cars (Z3, Z4, Z Coupe) considered "M" cars, or just the M coupe and M roadster variants?

Ah, that I now see. I had my thought process crossed because you mentioned the Z cars instead. Gotcha.

I was solely referring to the M coupe and roadster.

What happens if BMW wants to make an M version of the 1 series and make this M1? The heads of the people in marketing will explode.

shaped like the z4 in front....

Snake-eyes · 05-06-2008, 09:04 PM

considering this is a sneak peak at the new M1 race car. It makes since BMW to make a supercar

Also BMW has stepped up to the challenge in formula 1 as well. BMW is pushing performance big time in its new company policy

i would have to agree. first of all it looks like its 18 feet long. it got a long hood with a buldge, but then it also looks like its got that extended back section like an R8 or a F430. so it looks mid engined and front engined at the same time. then the overall styling is Z4 + M3 + a little Lancer in the headlights.

which is why i hope its a fake.

***david3558*** · 05-06-2008, 10:58 PM

The headlights sorta remind me of the EVO X. Perhaps this is the new BMW Z10?

I think it looks good. I just don't think it's a M1 though.
