BMW Z4 based Tender 5.7

[AleNod]

Is the BMW Z4-based Tender 5.7 the most Marmite car of the year?

Based on the current BMW Z4 and featuring bodywork inspired by Elvis Presley’s famous BMW 507, you’ll either love or hate the Tender 5.7.

Marmite . . . ?

 

[Geoff Crispin]

I like it

 

[Pond]

Nope, don't like these type of things. It can't decide what it wants to be IMO.
Based on a G29, so not going to be exactly cheap. I reckon around $200,000.

 

[Jam03]

Ugly AF I think.

 

[Pingu]

Love me... ...love me do

I've seen worse, but it wouldn't be on my shopping list.Mind you anything associated with Elvis Pressley wouldn't!

USD 310 349 from the linked article. Which I think is silly money . . .

I do quite like the looks, but then I think the 507 was one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

But I'm not a fan of the G29 - agree with @Pond and apologies to owners - and I really don't like the price.

But hey, at least it's something different and not just a generic modern brick shaped large battery transporter . . .

 

[Duncodin]

It looks like one of these.

I was way off!
I wonder whether the people who do these 'special recreations' ever make any money? Even at the ridiculous asking price I would assume there is not much margin when making a handful.

The car has very hard suspension, apparently. Done on purpose so the occupants are "all shook up".

Ugly AF I think.

Off topic but, have F quite a lot of ugly, still never had an ugly F. These expressions always make me go hmmmm?

 

[Jam03]

I love the 507. I think that this could be less ugly if it is done as more of a modern interpretation of the 507 rather than a partial replica.

 

[Argyll Andy]

I have to say I like it, apart from the grille, to much like a sad face, think the Alpina wheels really suit it

 

[DaveP]

I am always open to a modern rep of a classic. But this is a no from me...

 

[Zed Chimp]

In defence of the G29 I think it's a really really really good car, I liked my E89 but I love the G29 for lots of reasons . As for this sort of 507 wannabe you can't improve on perfection so why bother.

The seats don't look bad.
