Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

Agreed, a new 760i is more of a sports-car than a Lotus Elan because it goes around the ring quicker.

Sure, you just keep comparing cars that are 30 years apart.

They better not get rid of them. Life would be so boring without coupes, lol.

It's arguably BMWs bread and butter. The M3/4 is _the_ BMW.

Someone already made a render of it.

Looks lovely if you ask me.

It'd be nice if BMW made a RWD drop top 2 seater is all I'm saying. Chop the lid off an M2 if you have to. Make it happen.

That would be a 4 seater, and BMW already has two 4 seat cabrios. And of course a 2 seat Roadster called Z4, maybe you have heard of it

And a cabriolet 2er is 100% not happening. There's already choice enough and that car wouldn't sell enough to warrant R&D. Just chopping up the lid is not going to work clearly.

It's a dilemma making a business case of a cabrio these days I think. I think the collaboration with Toyota is stopping after this. Perhaps merging the 4 and 8 cabrio to a 6 cabrio would work?

The present 2er would have made a fine Cabrio. Imagine the M2 as one?
