I've been wanting this for a long time and I hope it comes true. More competition is always better for everyone.
The first to use the new architecture is the Z5 Roadster/Z5(6) Coupe. The major details about the chassis are being kept very quiet even by the more liberal insiders. Those who know will agree...it's nothing but good and a radical change for BMW. It will be a serious drivers car. Future variants will be developed as well above and below the first entrants.
