Do you really thing that concept is as good as the original M1? Don't you think its just so flashy? Lambos, Ferraris and Porshces are the best looking mid engined cars.

David Adams 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Yet another example of how car companies waste money that could be better spent funding non-oil running vehicles. Such as Beemers fantastic hydrogen engines... Concept cars that will never see the light of day are more pathetic then Max Mosley, and thats saying something...

But to be honest, I just love its front| Most Porsches are not mid engined, they're either front engined (Cayenne the biggest seller) or rear engined 911 (and rear engined is not the same as mid engined), only the Boxter/Cayman are mid engined.

Yeah, I know 911s are mostly rear engined, but just that I classify it among other mid engined cars, since there is no other car that has an engine on its bum in production...well, to my knowledge!

DOF_power 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2008 The 911 is a rear engined car, Cayman/Boxter is a mid-rear engined car. 2 different things. The 911 can in no way be called a mid engined car as it's engine is after the rear axle not in between the 2 axles (only by placing the engine between the driver and the rear axle can it be called a mid-rear engined car).

Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 That isn't. I hate it.Supercars should NOT have grilles. And I just hate BMW in general. I'm with Dave on this, that car looks OK to me, I've seen nicer. BMW just aren't sexy enough I'm afraid, they haven't got the beauty and finesse of say Ferrari, or Aston Martin, no amount of processing power in the world can substitute for an Italian with some crayons. Still wouldn't mind giving it a spin though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
