Thought I'd drum things up and ask if there any new rumors about BMW working on the Z2.
I actually like the new Mini Roadster JCW except the fact that it is FWD. Instead, I will probably end up settling for a Miata once I test drive one...But I'm hesitant since it seems a bit under powered. Heck, maybe I'll go the used route and get a Boxster instead...but have never been in love with the looks of the Porsche's as I have been with the latest Z4's.
With BMW's new 4 cylinder engine and focusing on lighter cars/more efficient cars (or at least not gaining any weight while still going larger), I feel it would be a GREAT time to come out with the Z2.
I couldnt' think of anything better than a e89-esque roadster (RWD) that had the power of the z428 and the weight & handling of a Miata.
