Not out until late next year though.

Having had the old Z3 M Coupe in the past I know this will be an awesome car. Just no dates yet when the M version will be out.

 

That's cool. Will it come in a retractable hardtop? How much $$$?

Are you related to Donald Trump's ex? (Ivana one of these...24 coupe) Haha!

 

it will be a fixed top coupe.

 

probably a Z4 with a hard top and that M V10 engine.

badas* car.

 

Roof won't come off / down. Take a look here for more:

All apologies Saldous but...Great God what an UGLY thing. I remember there was an English auto reviewer that said the Crossfire looked like a dog taking a crap. Well I have to say this looks much worse. Maybe a wart hog vomiting?

 

You know, I kind of miss the old "Bread Van" Z3 coupe that BMW built in the late nineties and into the first few years of this decade. There was an "M" version of that car, and it looked sort of like an old MGB GT. The rear of the car looked acres wide with the "M" version's rubber filling up the flared rear fenders.

Even if the design of Chris Bangle's cars is innovative and in some cases striking, there is not one new BMW that I would call "beautiful" in the sense of a classic Jag E-Type, Porsche 356 Speedster, etc. Now that new Porsche Cayman, on the other hand, has the kind of shape that shames nearly everything else in this class. Check that rear roofline.

 

It will be getting the current 333 hp I-6. No more 315 hp version due to the chance of the exhaust manifold. Still a fan of the s54 over this new one. I am sure it will grow on me.

Can't wait to see the new m3 400 4.0L V-8.

 

harry7, that pic is a convertible with a hardtop not the coupe. Big difference. Look at the roofline of the coupe. Very nice IMO.

 

^^^1st purchase after graduation!

 

I based my comment on the pic at the top of this thread. I'm guessing that is the correct one. Way too many lines. Must have been done on an Etch-A-Sketch.

How about this?

 

LOL Harry, that's a cabrio with a hardtop. But yeah I get what you meant.

 

....I knew I was in the wrong racket. Damned engineering degree...

 

i always thought the M coupe was one of the ugliest cool cars around... i'm sure the motor has something to do with it.

 

Different strokes for different folks. Some people hate the Crossfire too, don't forget that. I personally loved the old Z3 M Coupes looks, but its handling and power far outweighed people's comments of distaste! I personally like the look of the new one. It is unique and like the Crossfire they probably won't sell many of them so you can be original and stand out from the crowd just like we do in our Crossfires.

We will have to wait and see what it looks like when it is released. The Concept Crossfire looked different to final production too remember, so I am sure parts will change.

Also, it now looks like I will be moving to the USA with my job, so I'll have to see my crossfire soon. I'll keep you posted but if anyone is interested in buying let me know.

 

God that Z4 is butt ugly. Give me an SLK any day.

 

Hey ... you will be able to buy an srt6 in the states for around the same price as selling your crossfire in the UK. mmm cheap cars and cheap fuel yummm.

Have fun!
