E36 M4 evo engine in the front, add stiffened springs and dampers and all of a sudden you have a fantastic car! It was just underpowered a rather gutless to drive, but then the 2.5 engine was never really intended to be the engine for the car. It was going to be upgraded in time with an M variant engine, but poor sales meant BMW scratched the idea. Really is a funky car though, with those fantastic doors which are eerily simple and cheap to maintain, since they run off a rubber belt and motor. Easy. It's also made of plastic, which is rather groovy, as the bodywork won't rust, and it's also totally removeable in jsut a few hours at the garage. Driving one with the bodywork off, in the dark is a truly SCARY experience. It looks like pure evil, fantastic! |

Right car at the wrong moment. I don't think the right moment has come yet. The world is still unprepared to truly appreciate this car. And about the avant garde...way ahead of its time. Those doors may be open, but the time may never make it to the front seat... |

"This car was originally designed as a one off concept car, which ended up being driven around Germany by one of the top enginerrs at BMW, everyone raved so much about it, that BMW put it into limited production. The most revolutionary thing about this car were the doors. Which slid DOWN INTO the body work!! Quite incredible to see especially when someone in one drives past on a hot summer day with the door ""open"" !!! ;D" |

Well, this I think is the final and last true example of BMW building a progressively styled, avant garde car. Just came at the wrong moment. |
