so, Jamin ignore's the BMW guy in the group, and goes straight to "Lucas must know this car".  Boo to you sir, boo to you.

zoom zoom russell, zoom zoom. And i mentioned a huge diesel victory to our local diesel guy, OK!?

i saw that M test drive thing...and decided im really going to need that new M Coupe in black when i graduate and make some money.

they had one of those at BMW last time I was there but it was a convert.

Lou, you're right, and you're VERY wrong.  Z4 roadster, that's what you saw, that's a normal bmw, the replacement to the Z3.  The M Coupe, pictured above, is a whole nother monster.  There were talks of bmw making a coupe on the z4 platform, but it was always said they wouldn't do it.  Well, we, the enthusiasts, won this battle.  I'm in love with that car, and I plan on owning one someday as well.  Also, good news, no paddle shift in that car, just a straight up 6spd, with the engine out of the current e46 m powering it.  The sexy lines are an added bonus.
