Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Yeees (the Autocar logo was a clue) But it can't be too far off the mark given the overall profile and dimensions of the track mule. The general appearance seems to be e89 with a lighter rear end and rather slabby sides. But we will see :)

Seems like a poor excuse not to call it a Z5.
Are they saying an M3 and an M5 are not performance models? :lol:

Sticking with the 'even numbers = 2 doors'. Z5 actually would make no sense in their schema. :|

Who ever decided it was gonna be named z5?
The press is more about copying content than enquiring.

Nobody knows what it'll be called.

The proportions look strange, too long considering most will have a 4 pot up front.
