Interesting new direction and engine technologies. The devil will be in the details of getting from concept to production.
Enough talk. Now make the damned thing. Make it real, make it reliable, and tell me what the mileage will be to run it on Diessel. No hybrids: This keeps BMW off my list. Fix that, willya?
3 cylinder turbodiesel... (the 3-pot is the best engine config... next to the boxer-four and the V-twin... seriously...) 350 hp, 75 mpg, 0-62 in 4.8 seconds... four seats and mid-engined? Count me in. Oh, and the styling is fantastic. I doubt it will reach production, but as a preview of the next sub-M 3-series... or possibly even the next M3... it's impressive.
Oh come on, BMW can't even manufacture cars with reliable LED instrumentation. To think that they're going to multiply the level of electrical complexity by 300% is delusional.
