The perfect BMW doesn't exi...

Well...https://www.smitve.com/specifications
Take a M3 GTS motor and stuff it into a carbon bodied old school GT car with a 6 speed tranny? The only thing I would change is the wheels and stance and you're set.

There's no such thing as a perfect car that's why a lot of auto enthusiast does an upgrade. They buy automotive accessories from stores such as 4WheelOnline to make a difference.

BMWCCA1 · 09-22-2021, 11:00 PM

Can't find the perfect BMW? Buy several!

My BMW bikes can't do what my BMW cars can, and my BMW cars can't do what my BMW bikes can. My big 4-door sedans don't do what my small coupes can, and vice-versa. Modern BMWs don't do what Vintage ones do, and vice-versa.

Buy more!

MmmmmM2 · 09-23-2021, 12:36 PM

My M2C is perfect for me.

Red Bread · 09-23-2021, 01:26 PM

The grills are weird, they aped so many Z8 features exactly but then went all French weird on the mustache.

Stronie · 09-23-2021, 01:39 PM

They will probably make 5 of these....maybe

dgoldenz · 09-23-2021, 02:12 PM

I'll bet the price tag is like $300k too

Never will a single vehicle be able to hit every single box. That's why you buy a bunch of them.

Efthreeoh · 09-26-2021, 10:44 AM

As a 30+ year BMW enthusiast, I disagree. There is a perfect BMW. It is the

E86 Z4 3.0si Coupe.

Close thread.

Kidding aside. I'd just take a Z4 Coupe and drop in a built Small Block.

You forgot to specify color

Humdizzle · 10-06-2021, 04:59 PM

sounds like they just copied what weismann did.

Black, of course.

BTW, BMW specs the E86 Z4 Coupe at 32,000 newton-meter/degree.

Just sayin'

Are we talking perfect stock? If they had it come stock quad exhaust I’d agree but it didn’t

And didn't they also have some of the first Electric Power Steering systems?

Think I read somewhere the e85 was the first. I honestly don’t mind the steering feel in my 03&07 85/86 and comparing with how my e82 feels with hydraulic if the feel was somewhere in between the two comparisons that’d be perfect. Sport button a must for the “heavier” feel, non sport models kinda got screwed.

Unless you want a car with a suspension that was not designed 50 years ago.

It's a neat design. The electric motor powers the steering shaft rather than the steering rack. IMO it gives much better steering feel for an EPS system.

Call me crazy, but after having my 03 e85 for 10 years I looked at adding to the collection a 06 911, c7 vette, F type, and MK5 Supra, and after driving all of those I decided on adding my 07 e86 instead. Mrs says I’m crazy for having 2 z4s but in the end well, ok I’m crazy

My 2006 M Roadster was the best BMW I owned. Probably the best car I've owned and the only car I regret selling.
