Easily the 1-series CSL/M-car... but my point is that now that BMW has shown two midengined concepts in a year, expectations for something real have rised.

The car that will proceed will be a Front engined Coupe and Roadster based on an extended 3er modular platform. BMW need the car to be 50/50 in weight distribution. It will not be an extreme performance car but will be powerful and sustainable at the same time.

It's a GT 2 seater car and will take it's ideas from the BMW H2H Racer , It wont be big and heavy, it's all about doing a flagship sports car from a different perspective from which others do.

Vision Efficient Dynamics is an interpretation to another BMW.

I think those who were/are wishing for mid-engined car are in a fantasy world.

Then I will have some news for you next week.
Coupe and Roadster.

Scott, Is this what you're talking about??? Or is BMW going to make TWO supercars (One ala H2H and one taking the VED approach) ???

3 years ago it would not have been such a fantasy, now, on the other hand, pretty much so, BMW can't do it with its new direction, not like we are used to.

Even three years ago, I would say it's fantasy.

Yes, I guess BMWs new direction was taken by then. Oh, well, maybe sometime...
