Cool rendering

ShocknAwe · 06-16-2017, 09:05 PM

Yeah... they're not gonna make another clownshoe.

supra93 · 06-16-2017, 09:07 PM

I kinda like it.

NickyC · 06-16-2017, 09:09 PM

Shooting brakes ftw.

GuidoK · 06-16-2017, 09:10 PM

By the time this would come out, you wouldnt need such a long bonnet to house the 3 cyl engine...

note46 · 06-16-2017, 10:37 PM

Except e36/8 did not have hoffmeister kink... That whole chrome surround and the shape doesn't work in my eyes.

Not sure why you say that. The e36/8 does have the Hofmiester kink. In fact, the e36 is one of the pictorial poster cars in the Wikipedia article on that design element. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmeister_kink

You dont know what an e36/8 is....

It's the e code for the z3 coupe

And indeed that doesnt have the Hofmeister kink:

The one in my garage that I've owned since new disagrees with you

One of the few modern BMWs without the kink.

The Z3 M rendering is pretty cool

Would love to see it built like that

The M coupe is an iconic design, it's the base design for the Ferrari ff

F87LUV · 06-19-2017, 10:40 AM

I would kill for a modern day coupe/hatch. Lose the chrome though!

Coops90 · 06-19-2017, 10:41 AM

Quite like it. Got a Ferrari FF/GT4 Lusso vibe to it

Sad, because they made the 6GT.

E36/8

The key part being the /8, which is the chassis code for the M Coupe manufactured from 1998-2002. Completely separate car from the E36 3-series.

ake · 06-19-2017, 10:48 AM

This is a gorgeous rendering!
I would order it immediately

(as long as the chrome can be replaced with a shadow line).

Slow///1 · 06-19-2017, 10:48 AM

Looks great

bradleyland · 06-19-2017, 10:49 AM

I really dig this rendering. It's got overtones of the Ferrari GTC4Lusso, which is a fantastic looking car. The B-pillar-less design looks great, that C-pillar design would completely destroy rearward visibility. Although, it's not like the Z4 M Coupe design had any better visibility.

I think it'd be awesome if BMW ran with this idea. The E36/8 and E85 coupe are two cars with an absolutely rabid cult following. A big part of BMW culture is built upon these quirky one-off designs with a small, but very passionate, fan base.

E36/8 was not just the M coupe, it was also the Z3 coupe. E36/7 was the roadster and E36/8 was the coupe - Z3 or M.
