BMW's newest roadster
- Thread starter Brian4
- Start date
That is one of the sexiest BMWs I have seen, just needs a V10 putting in it, If I was to drive that I would need sound, loud throaty sound,
228 hp from a 3 cylinder 1.5l engine so sounds will have to be electronically made!! certainly looks good and the roof is clever, looks as if it stores vertically.
I liked that when I posted some pictures a couple? of weeks ago. First time I've seen it moving and I love how the roof operates.

The roof looks like being very similar on the new Z4
Wow what a great looking beast, the colour suits it to,but a 3 cylinder 1.5 engine noooooo,give it a proper engine, I hate the way the direction the motoring industries going at the moment
I don't like either Jimmy, but like it or not it's the future mate. We all need to take care of our old Dinosaurs

I know what your saying Tony ,and I agree it's going to happen,but the motorists haven't really asked for this technology ,it been forced up on us sadly bye the powers that be sadly,I think il go the other way ,like step toe and son did,a horse a trap.
Funny you should say that mate, a Pony and trap came past our house last weekend.

It wasn't me yet on the pony and trap, but when the time comes to drive an electric car , I will sadly look like this.HAROLD!!!!!
Oh no Jimmy, you're not going to become a "Derrrrty Old Man" are you?

We may have to bring the Luddites back and start "removing" electricity supplies then

Nice but I'll stick to my 2.8 for as long as I can.
That's the worrying thing though Andy, how much longer will we be allowed our toxic toys?
Tony.
This is very true Tony, hopefully as long as the rich, famous and influential movers and shakers keep there old motors.
Always remember threxactly comparison of an m3 and prius on top gear and the m3 was the same or marginally better.
An awful lot of infrastructure needed yet for electric and hybrid and fast chargers. Sound systems are quite good nowadays so V12 can be imitated

That'll be another thing for the lowly M.O.T. tester to have to measure then. Sound systems are quite good nowadays so V12 can be imitated

I really feel we are lucky to have been able to enjoy our motors of today, and the past 20 years.
Future generations will be driving elec cars, and I'm sure in the not too distant future speeds will be restricted electronicly by the car itself.
I fear you're probably right Tim. Big brother is out there just waiting for the signal. Speeds will be controlled along with spacing and lane management (ie no overtaking) and if you're going to be late an automatic telecommunication.

I'll be telling my future grand children about us doing donuts in a wet car park, and spirited driving through the country lanes. When I was younger of course.
They won't believe us.
