Everyone knows that the i8 chassis with the S85 would be glorious, that was an amazing engine stuck in a less than amazing car. It deserves a lightweight mid-engine chassis. Knowing how BMW has jumped the shark, I think even the S63 would make a car that would spank the R8.

Well, that may be the case. However, I can't find parts for a Bentley cheaply, and I don't know how to work on those 6 and three quarter V8 engines. The Green Label is underpinned by the mechanicals of the E38 7 Series, and that drivetrain is rather easy to work on and the parts are not too bad either.

The 2 series is just a 1 series platform, and the 1 series platform is just a shortened E92 3 series platform. These platforms are quite versatile.

"The Mazda Miata is really stripped down compared to the Z4"

This is not the car to buy unless you are crazy. If you are only half crazy like Tavarish, then you want the Arnage Green-Label 2000-200? that is essentially a BMW 740 mechanically with two turbos stuck to the 4.4 litre V8 give it more oomph. Magically, you can get all the parts you need to fix things from the regular…

Magna Steyr built the first E89s before they moved it to Regensburg.

Yes, I am well aware. However, the government also doesn't handle any of the payment plans mentioned before. It just outsources it to other companies. Sounds just like the article. These companies take your money to pay the fees first, and then the fines. I believe it was referred to "the hamster wheel of hell."

Let me get this straight, poor people tend to often be stupid and not read the details on their horrible car loans. They are a huge risk, and they often don't follow the details and get screwed over by shady used car dealers? I agree that is not a good thing, and we should require that the dummies read every single…

Seems like Mazda isn't having trouble pricing the 2016 Miata below $25,000. I think BMW could definitely do something if they tried. It would probably have to be built by Toyota though. Spartanburg is already at max capacity pushing out all those giant SUVs for overweight Americans.

You are forgetting the Z3 came out in 1996 with a rather anemic 4 cylinder engine putting down a whopping 138 hp. It was enough though, it was only competing against the Miata after all. It was the star of Goldeneye, or at least the few seconds at the beginning of the movie. I was wrong though, the original MSRP…

Wow, my bad. I was searching for a way to re-load my non-offical apps to Android 5.0 and it appears they are blocked and won't load without rooting the phone.

Well, I for one would like a modern Z3. I have no use for the Z4. Its a failure in BMWs eyes. They fully expected it to sell half a million units, building on the success of the Z4. Ironically, I know lots of Z3 owners from BMW Homecoming who upgraded to the Z4 only to find out they just didn't like it. Something…

The Z4 moniker should be jettisoned as it has no brand value after so many years of failure.

Don't hold your breath. They make so few Z4s that BMW doesn't even bother to assemble them and outsources it to a 3rd party.

Maybe we will see BMW get their head out of their asses and build a new Z3. Clearly the Z4 isn't working and has been a complete flop. BMW sold more Z3s than every other Z car put together. Generally speaking, every 3 series has outsold the previous generation. The Z series has been just the opposite.

Side loading is what you do when Google App store is all screwed up and you buy the .apk directly from the developer. Or, when you are the developer and you make a cool little app that opens your garage doors using an Arduino, you have to have some way to get the app on your phone.

Whats with all this de-contenting talk? Why can't we have a SMALL MINI that is the size of the Original MINI? Hell, I will be surprised if it is even as small as the ORIGINAL NEW MINI from 2001 model. Why can't they build something that looks good and is small but also isn't so ridiculously tall in proportions like…

With all the issues they have with the W8 engine in the passat, I wonder how reliable these motors would be after they got some serious mileage on them.

This could be a great option for wives though. They want to sit up high, and everyone could use a pickup truck for occasional hauling. Plus it has a 10 year warranty, so that's a big plus in my book. If this thing can fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood with the tailgate down/extended then I would seriously have to consider…

No one buys the Genesis coupe because it doesn't have a V8.
