New BMW group roadster

[Brian4]

Moving on from @Low Rider and the thread on the end of the Z4 there looks to be the Toyota tie up but the first new roadster to come from the group looks to be going to be the Mini so no replacement for the Z3.

Quick vid of it at a 2014 concept supposed to be produced for 2018/19

As concepts go, that's properly concept! My eyes! What a moose of a car, ugly as sin IMHO

A proper double bagger mate

I recon that needs to go back to the drawing board and come out looking something like this

I suppose as it will be front wheel drive they couldn't put a BMW badge on it so made it as ugly as the rest of the Minis.

Looks like an Audi TT variant

It ain't a Z3 is it. There sure is something about a 3 that just draws me to my car

Watch the vid mate, the rear is even worse.

 

[Stevo7682]

Na tony just look like the front except with red lights

 

[Redline]

That's had a style bypass....
Thankfully (hopefully for this one at least) few cars make it from concept through to production with all or most of the concept design cues in place.

Autoexpress have reported on what is thought to be a Z5 testing at Nurburgring

I just sense a Toyota shared project may make a Z5 feel a bit "plastic"

Watch the vid mate, the rear is even worse.

I don't think I will then Sean, might give me nightmares!

Looks a bit like the i3 - terrible! Bring back the Z3 shape - slightly bigger in size!

 

[Uncle_Clanger]

God! That's not much of a headturner is it...the rear lights look like red masking tape? I suppose they have already stretched, squashed, elevated and generally b******* about with the mini so much that they just ran out of ideas and stuck a sharks fin on the back... Actually that's been done before hasnt it? Concept indeed.

Round it off a bit in the corners upgrade the interior and put a big engine in it maybe a bit like this

This is a possible offering of a new Z3
