This just goes back to the old M1 Hommage " Will they or wont they"
If you go back to my posts in that thread you see I dismiss the strategy fanboys reckon it should be in favour of what BMW are actually discussing in a type of car of this calibre.
Lightweight materials , Better efficiency and groundbreaking technology either Mild or full hybrid. It wont if green-lighted become an Audi R8 Rival or Mercedes-Benz SLC and have maximum power and poor economy.
It would stand apart from the crowd . And that means a very convincing showcase for Efficient Dynamics.

BMW insider reveals details about ‘green’ supercar based on M1 Homage
New supercar model would be used to showcase BMW’s most sophisticated environmental technology
Despite BMW not having built a true supercar for 30 years since its original M1 model, a "high ranking insider" at the firm insists management is trying to reinvent its performance image with a new 'green' supercar based on the wild M1 Homage concept revealed earlier this year.
BMW is reportedly studying the viability of the project, with the ultimate goal to create a two-seater that showcases all of firm’s most sophisticated environmental technology, with a view to releasing it for a limited production run at the end of 2012.
It seems they are mulling building a supercar, but I can guarantee that it will be cancelled.
