35is Pulled 15 Car Lengths on an M?

I keep looking at it & wonder where the designer started with that :? i'm thinking he was having a morning coffee while perusing a magazine article showing the front of a 8o,s Nissan 300ZX , all good there he then trots off for a boozy lunch which ran into a major evening session leaving him to resume his design task the following day with a monstrous hangover
i struggle to think up a worse looking coupe

:lol: Your driving one around now Mr Wilks. a 911 is a thing I will never own, due mainly to it"s old fashioned look.

In fact I have a model and pic of my Fiat, it has pride of place in the lounge. Pic from the day I picked it up 18 years ago.

No Zed there either . Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Mr W :wink:

Now where are me specs. :lol:

So true. Always loved the simple genius design of that car, how the splitlines are hidden, how great the aero is worked out (yes really) and how it also fits 4 people with ease. But hey, actually working with automotive design may make me view cars differently?

IMHO it did need a little lowering and a little bigger wheels - not that it was a difficult mod!

" simple genius design " :? you could say the same about the Multipla i suppose however i think BuzyG had it right :roll: beauty being in the eye of the beholder that is :wink:

Thats very true - I could never stand seeing a 911 on my drive. So horses for corses as they say

My Z4M is slower than the mapped TT RS, but it doesn't matter. Still fun can't compete with that torque curve though ....

Good spot. Always wondered where he had moved to. Samsung was not on my radar though.

I’d love to have seen BMW roadsters go the way of the GINA concept. Not the fabric skin itself, but further refinement of the “flame surfacing” idea.
