Timeless design. Lightweight. Highly connected driving experience. Hmm, almost like an Ultimate Driving Machine.
I wonder if anyone would be interested in that today? Probably not. Somewhere at HQ - “Stick a battery in it. Make it heavy.” |

Most of the current designs will be oddities not classics in the future.

Doubt that based on the insanely positive reaction G82 M4 CSL gets…

Fair point but the G82 does come in for a LOT of stick over styling. It just surprised me that the reaction of Joe Public is incredibly positive. I’m always asked about taking a photo of it… and it’s always mentioned by people that have seen it and know it’s mine. Crazy…

This is spot on. I hated the G8x design at first. Now I have one. One of the most liked and commented on by the general public cars I ever owned. And that includes numerous M and P cars.

Wait explain please, do people who see your car like it and compliment it or YOU have changed your mind and started liking it? Those are two different things. Apologies in advance - I buy my car that I like. Don’t give an F about getting a compliment from some person on the street.

I wish I had enough dough to buy a nice well taken care of / pampered low mileage garage kept silver Z8 for my collection. Such a superb machine & beautiful too. Would look awesome parked next to an equally pristine E39 M5. They sure don't make them like that anymore. The E39 was a solid tank & with a bullet proof chassis.

My E34 parts are NLA can you please make them again? Porsche, Mercedes, and Jaguar all have classic parts readily available why is BMW neglecting the classic owners? I had the pleasure of visiting this car and meeting the guy with a mustache who restored it and he said you guys would cater to the e34 in about 10 years and it’s been about 10 years. E34 and E60 all need love too even if Elvis didn’t own them.
