How hard can it be for BMW!!! - 07-22-2008, 07:42 PM

Imagine this.

you pick a 3 doors 130i. Get the back seat out. Put in 2 nice race seats with rear safety roll cage and 6 point harnesses. 135i brakes on. !8inch wheels with toyo r888 off factory. Get around 100kg weight out. Put in rear LSD engine wise a little tweak maybe 10hp increase that s enough.

Here is a renault megane but i refuse to buy fwd. Man what would i be happy to buy something like this from bmw 1 series.





Most country fast driving on the road is a no go. But this would be my ultimatie tracktoy to drive to and from the track. Bmw should not forget the the track enthusiast.

How hard can it be for BMW to make something like this!!!!

The right question is "How much money is in it for BMW"?

I can build it myself but when you make something youreself you can t sell no more. But if something comes off factory see porsche GT3 RS it wil be ok.

This is the GT3 RS for track enthusiasts with a smaller wallet.

130i clubsport would be an image maker for bmw on trackdays for sure.

Performance parts are nice but nog hardcore enough for track enthusiasts. Rollcage offfactory that i really miss at bmw.

I'm with you on this one, AdvEvo. They should really do it. The Megané you are referring to is wicked!
