the z8 from what i read had a more rigid chassis, i seen a z4 and was staring at it it kinda looks like one of those car that you seem in magazine with spy shots of a new car seems like bmw never smoothed it out

Well now they'll be able to devote more resources to the M3, and M5 cars!

Sux that there will never be a M Coupe with SMG though, I hate BMW for discontinuing it! I hate BMW for allowing gay car designs like Bangel makes! I think the future of BMW is going to be really bad b/c their new designs are just PLAIN FUGLYYY!!!!!

I LOVE the M Coupe - that is my next car (after my insurance cools down a LOT!

) I don't think the Z4 Coupe would look as good based on the fact that the previous Z was more round allowing it to form easily into a hatch. The Z4? Hot car, but not for a coupe...

The M Coupe is my favorite BMW EVER!!! I hope to own one in a few years or so.

They might not have another Mcoupe but they will have something to fill its place, I'm sure. I've seen all kinds of drawings/renderings and talk of a new 2series coupe and hatchback. Here are some shots:

yeah, it's a 6 series, but they mention the "1 series" also...

i have this saved as "z506." i don't know what that means but it looks damn cool

possible M2....i think this is the series that they are making into a hatchback as well

i realize they're just drawings...but hey, at least they're thinking about it
