I have liked the idea of roundel wheels too. Would love to see it on some bottle caps or m-system turbos.

perhaps it could be a sleeved down 2 liter block or a bored/stroked 1.5

This crash at the xgames was pretty bad

Nothing wrong with purple and motorsports

The Caterham 7 Levante

I doubt the BMW M8 has ever been in a video game. 550hp from the first version of the motor that would eventually end up in the McLaren F1 this has to be one of the best cars never in a video game.

And even more unlikely the 325e or es or ix

My love of cars can be traced back to my fathers pastime of ice racing 2002's in the seventies. I am so grateful he told me his stories, brought me to cars shows and shared his passion with me. I wish we could have had a chance to go ice racing together.

Skip to 3:58. Not much sounds better than in inline 6 with side draft carbs

isetta

The Tango electric commuter car. A combined 3,000 lbft of torque. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Seating for 2. It can park sideways between parellel parked cars. http://www.commutercars.com/

It looked much better in person

Perhaps I am only thinking on the first generation. Any how I still think it would make more sense to consumers to structure it as I had first mentioned and price the difference similarly to current discrepancy between the 3 series coupe and sedan or the same for the 6 coupe and sedan. Or they could make even numbers…

What evidence do you have that the 6 is a coupe of the 5?

Not much scares me more than the thought of my car blowing a timing belt ...shudder...

From the way I have understood it the 6 was supposed to be the coupe version of the 7. That is how it was with the first 6 series. Even with the new ones they share the same engine sizes (except the 760li of course). Also they have tended to share design characteristics between the 6 and 7.

Well that is all and fine because BMW doesn't charge a massive premium for the coupe version of its sedans (maybe 1-2K). If it was explained as 'a size to fit your needs' and people knew, ok, 1=small and 7=big, it would be easier for them to make comparisons.

Can we stop BMW where they are and restart this new naming scheme. Here is how it should work:

Miata

All I see is a Miata (see comment) and a Maserati Gran Turismo
