BMW can take their garbage bag and shove it. After bringing out the X5M and X6M while sitting on their hands without a new M1 for so long, plus bailing on F1, they [///M that is] are almost dead to me.

p.s. Agreed that whatever is covered underneath there could not possibly be any kind of "super sports car"

Wow, never though I'd find myself defending BMW, but at least they are doing something insted of talking and releasing exciting cars.

Knowing BMW, they will release a super car before LF-A comes out.

It is a rendering.. No one knows what is under the sheet. The car could look like a bigger IS-F

I agree. Not wide enough or low enough. Looks like a sedan of sorts

speedflex! that's possible the most disgusting picture I've seen in a long, long time. Ew!

But yea, that's a horrible face on the Bimmer rendering.

I say it's a 5GT (6GT) of some type under the garbage bag.
