There's a recent article in the the online "BimmerLife" magazine published by the BMW CCA which describes a fleet of BMW M cars to be supplied to MotoGP.

the grills on two of the cars look terrible to me

the trend worldwide to make mean aggressive looking front ends of vehicles is a mystery to me

Agreed. Why did BMW try to make a Toyota? This safety car design is getting pretty far away from their recognizable signature grills.

BMW did make a Toyota - sort of. The new Supra is a BMW-Toyota collaboration with a Z4 engine and a bunch of other BMW sourced parts. Its styling is a matter of taste. I haven't seen one in the flesh.

The more I see of new BMWs the more I appreciate my '83 320i.

Is this just a case of stereotypical old guys complaining about new-fangled stuff?


Thanks for the post, ExGMan.

It's not just old "guys". My wife had a BMW Z4 years ago and loved it. She looked at a new one recently...nope, didn't like it. (Good news for me...)

She should buy an M8, of course.

Did you, by any chance take her to a Kia place and slap a rondel on Rio?

Sigh...no, I bought her a Porsche instead.

This one is a Classic for those who haven't seen it
The commendation is great!
Not a specific Safety car but you'll get the idea.

Thanks for the post, ExGMan.

Of course! Doesn't make the comments less relevant though.
