So much of this is why I bought a Grand Sport.  The car is overpowered for a 2 wheel drive,  on the ring you should probably have that extra clear piece of the wing in place because with all those turns I’d imagine every ounce of downforce helps, the stupid thing overheats if it’s hot outside, and at the end of the…

and that is terrible for a brand new 2 seat convertible design.  Who on earth would not go for a 6 cylinder 2 or 4 series convertible instead of this.  There will be no discernible change in performance and either car would look like a proper BMW.

I think it looks like it’s front wheel drive.

Lift Kit!

I think the BMW looks like it’s FWD.

The debate is really only 1/2 in hp nowadays anyway. The real determinant is a combination of how soon peak torque is achieved and how much time in the sweet spot of the rev range the transmission is able to keep the motor at. We also know BMW does not overrate it’s engines. The car will be fast. It’s just not at all…

Am I the only one who looks at the overhangs and thinks this looks like a fwd car? I don’t hate it or anything but underwhelming is too strong a word because the car is too underwhelming to provoke that strong of a response.

Ummmm this would have to be called an Aztec with that hood wouldn’t it?

It’s a modern jag xjs

Meh. :-)

Get a GT3 or GT2 RS if you don’t care about comfort but do care about depreciation.  Get a 911 turbo if you don’t care about depreciation as much but love to go fast in any weather.

Still looks like a bad Fiero body kit.

It looks like Eddy Van Halen’s old guitar

1. You’re right, they do

Are you a mechanic? Run a tow company?

What on EARTH is that???? Wow! 

Honest question. We have had a year and a half since the 17’s changes have hit th market. Does the car still overheat? I have a 991.1 and my oil is like about 220 degrees in regular mode. 200 or so with sport mode. Is this car fixed or not? I’ve heard of 260 degree oil. 

To get leather, heated seats, and a heated wheel on an awd car - it’s 40 k. In a Kia Sportage SX it is $32,000. i got a Kia.

Not until they make the R available here.
