Default BMW Z29

Basically a Z4 coupe.. redone in CF and AL.

2,500lbs, current M3 motor

[QUOTE=Leftlanenews - Mystery BMW "Z29" unveiled]BMW has apparently put together a prototype lightweight coupe called the Z29. Based on the Z4, the car is said to weight just over 2,500 pounds. It features the same engine as the Z4 M and M3, and is built of aluminum and carbon fiber. 0-62 mph takes around four seconds. Further details remain very sparse, and it's not clear if the car is a project between BMW and a tuner, or if hints to a forthcoming model. We'll keep you posted as this story develops.

Now THAT is how a sports car should be. Low weight (Honda Fit, nearly) and high power. NICE!

Not bad at all, I hope the new Z8 (Z10?) will be the focal point for BMW, they need a semi-exotic model.

Hahaha, maybe it was a left over design.. at least in the rear.. wow, the rear has a ugly 80s retro look to it.
