  | If you were a BMW CEO ... ... what new cars / models would approve for production? Express your wishes, needs, suggestions, expectations about models / cars BMW should offer in you opinion.  Free your imagination ...  ***** IMPORTANT: please write about what BMW SHOULD offer, not what they SHOULDN'T. So, leave SAVs & crossovers alone - except if you want / wish one!  |

| Re: If you were a BMW CEO ... ^^ I second that, Tyc. Before the crisis I would've added a supercar, but given the current situation it would be completely unreasonable. I only would remove the Z8 from your list, because of the crisis, but add a CSL/tii 1-Series Coupe. So, for me: - tii/CSL lightweight 1-Series (preferably with an angry 4-pot) - M3 CSL - M6 CSL - 8-Series/CS All these cars are based on an existing platform or even an existing model, so not expensive to developp, and would add a lot of passion to the brand. More would be overdue given the current uncertainty.

| Re: If you were a BMW CEO ... - Z4M Coupé - M3 CSL - M version based on 1-series - Mid-engine roadcar - 135tii - Z4tii - Not important but it would be fun, V12 dubbelturbo engine based on 7-series (but do not call it a M)

 | Re: If you were a BMW CEO ... A mid engine BMW Just_Me??? Do you so desparately want something like the piggy R8??? BMW is not good at making mid engine cars. They should make what they know best. Front engine, RWD. That's what a BMW supercar should be all about. What I want: Z4 E89 M coupe (V8) 1er Tii lightweight M3 CSL CS Z8 M6 CSL, but for the next model, F13. The E63 is a tad bit old now. E60 M5 'Evo' to make it go out with a bang.
