I would rather see the new M halo as a preproduction concept.

In 2011, we saw the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive. Today all those features are available on most every BMW! Concept cars are the future. Some things make it and some don't. But its the far "thinking" that is the vehicle for BMW's R&D staff - to make better cars for all of us.

The BMW Vision ConnectedDrive shows most impressively the potential that BMW ConnectedDrive technologies hold for the future.

* Convenience - the vehicle is your own personal concierge.
* Infotainment - Infotainment in the vehicle. Mobile Hot spot, Internet.
* Safety - Looking ahead, staying safe. NIVI, OLED's, HUD and Laser lights
* Driving aids(lane departure, etc) and a Self parking car.

I know very well the role of true concept cars for manufacturers. But the hommage cars are pure retro design showcases. What was the tech showcased in M1 or 328 hommage? These are concepts looking into the past instead of the future.

Having an i8 now, and having owned a 3.0CS from 1972 to 1999, I'm very interested in seeing this homage (which is the English spelling).

Brits to like to use French words quite a bit, even if an English version of the word exists. This is also the case for a few other countries in Europe.

This is funny cause if you go to France, you hear people using a lot of English words

Quit paying hommage to the past and start producing more exciting cars!

Yea, as a Canadian it causes no problem for me cause I speak both languages, but it can get really confusing at times
