That is very nice, everything my Z4MC wasn't. I'd love one of these. My wife needs to work harder.

Brilliant and gorgeous. BMW should hire these guys to spearhead a new Z8, regardless of what the business case for it is. This could be a proper halo car.

Very pretty car. I have no idea what woudl make them swap in an S65 though. Lost 100lb of torque compared to the S62 especially down low, doesn't matter the engine was stroked.

Looks great, expensive, but less than an original Z8 is these days!

The rear end is gorgeous, but not sure about those kidney grills 😬

The Smit brothers remind me of a little known Aussie called Sir Jack Brabham who was a Royal Australian Air Force flight mechanic and ran a small engineering workshop.
Having won the Formula One world championship in 1959 and 1960, in the 1966 Formula One season Brabham became the first – and still, the only – man to win the Formula One world championship driving a car he built entirely himself. Here is to little known heros; I salute you all

No one bought BMWs sports cars. They had to nearly give away Z4Ms, and it was actually pretty good. It's hard to fault them for chasing the money. I would like them to do both, however.
