BMW M6? - Page 2

One thing is for sure, M6 won't be here before the M5, and even that is still up in the air.

Let BMW take their time developing it to their usual level of excellence.

I don't see why u say the prices are high...

It's true, BMW, never had them that high before. But look at Mercedes with the SL600 and CL600 and even the SL55, SL65 and CL65 (AMG house tunner for Merc as M is for BMW). Those cost more than what BMW will throw on the market, the M6 coupé and cabrio, but in my opinion they do less (not sporty enough, I mean).

I'm not reach at all, and I don't think I will ever come close to such cars, but, I don't find them realy expensive to what's right now on the market.

And I think Audi will have a word to say too. Not soon, but it will do.

I'll put a new thread on BMW, plz take a look and share.

i heard bmw were doing a lotus elise rival which would be powered by the 2.0 litre that's going into the 1 series and that would make a great car cos that engine pumps out 163 bhp now imagine that in a lighweight sport car!

A Lotus Elise revival? The Elise is still very much around, but a BMW roadster with Elise-like weight would no doubt be hot stuff, and the price would prabably be within easier reach with a simple 2.0.

On the mention of light weight, the supposed " M2 " promises to be kind of like what the M3 used to be back in the E30 years. A smaller, lighter package.

that may also mean a small lighweight coupe if they are developing a car on those lines

is BMW that interested in an elise type of car? I'd love ot see them make something like the E30 M3, that was what fast cars are about. I just don't see it happening. That and the elise is bare and stripped down to next to nothing, BMW hasn't been about that in a while.

most likely it is possible this is an area untackled by bmw and its probably likely they have an elise rival in the pipelines

In all roadsters, ZZII will probably reign supreme forever.

They need to be about that now more than they ever have before. If BMW is indeed " The Ultimate Driving Machine " they really need something that would drive that fact home like nothing else. Something small, something ludicrously light on it's feet. Even the M3 can't really make this claim much anymore. Driving is the hallmark of BMW, you'd think they would be serious about creating a car that would represent that in it's purest form, much like the Elise does.
