You're better off coughing up a fortune for one of those specialty cars. So get to work Imhotep!!!

On topic: With the size and price of the next Z4. not to mention to two tops in one configuration I don't think a coupe will be necessary. They'll even have a harder time justifying the concept to the BOD, even as a limited run vehicle. So enjoy the current Z4 and M coupe while they're still here.
This is true, now if someone could get the U.S. government to understand this! The simple solution is for us to all driver race-worthy cars, lightweight, exotic materials, and unaffordable for all but the top 1 percent of the population! Gee or we could come down to something like a SLR with diesel engine...lol!!
