Told you the visits to Woking were productive. But more is to come.

Ok. So, there is hardly any excuse for BMW not to build a supercar anymore ... with such a partner on its side?

 

[SCOTT27]

Watch this Space. But there is more priority issues to be considered first as a development partner.
Also is a further extension to the Toyota alliance.

That's a "no" then, @manuelf.

I really wish that BMW would acquire McLaren...but this is a start I suppose. BMW will never go the supercar route. They're too invested in catering to commercial needs. We all have our fantasies.

This partnership has a great history BUT it doesn't guarantee anything. Few if any of the people from the early 90's (McLaren F1 era) are still with either company.
