So the 4-series GranCoupe is a liftback.  This seems like a hugely missed opportunity to do the same for the 2-series.  I guess I get why the 6 and 8 series GC’s were trunk/sedans, but the low cost car would, I’d think, benefit from the hatch and it’s additional cargo volume.   I guess they want to force you into an…

You already nailed it - as we were ALL thinking it while reading: swap the running gear into something less crusty. It’s established that the car itself is not special in-tact other than being what it is - take it and bless some clean bodied GC with that driveline.  

Just got back from spending the weekend at VIR for this.  Worth every moment!

You’d have to be really hunting for desperate ways to spend excess money if you would allocate forty-thousand US dollars towards this.... thing. This would still be an NP/CP discussion at half that price.

Yeah, it’s that thing you said at the end. 

Man, I figured the last WYTS for this year would be longer than this. 

So... is there a non-Turbo?

Entitled? Hardly! Listen, outside of slavery and sex trafficking and heinous shit like that - and oh hey, there’s no worker protections offered to THOSE people aside from it all being illegal in the first place - you can choose where you work.
