Personally I reckon this will be just about be the production car.

If it is then it's not as dramatic as in the pictures from California earlier in the year.

That was a concept though Rick, albeit approx 80% of the finished production car according to the blurb. Hence why I think this will be pretty damn close to the final version.

I think if I suggested buying another car like that after an all new 35is Aug last year there would be one almighty argument !

It is the rear I would want to see, as with the E89 they ran out of ideas there.

X5M - 575 hp of fun in a V8
Abarth 595 Comp.
Golf Clipper - collectors item
Z4 3.0si Black Sapphire
VW ID.3

Previous:
Z4M Silver Grey - non flimper spec (gone to Bing)
Z4 3.0 Toledo
