Default 2007 BMW ///M cars

I'm going fucking nuts over the new ///M Coupe... http://www.caranddriver.com/article....ticle_id=10705







I am thrilled to see that the ///M 3.2 Inline 6 didnt get Bangled, since the 2007 ///M3 will have a 4.0 V8, being the uneasy 5.0 V10 from the M5 with 2 less cylinders, I was very confused as to what this could mean for the ///M series, which as long as I have been around M3s have always been BMW exclusive special inline 6s..that would be like GM dropping the LSx line, Ford dropping the modular V8 design, Mitsu dropping the 4G63, Toyota dropping the 2JZ (wait....fuck...) or Subaru dropping the boxer engine.

I've seen the ///MZ4 roadster in person in Interlagos Blue Metallic and must say its the best looking color from what I've ever seen. The first pic is this color...which is similar to Toyota's RSP or GM's HHT blue which is a different shade of blue depending on the angle and amount of light hitting it. Havent gotten to drive one yet, but its only a matter of time...

I'd be willing to put $$$ down that BEFORE 2010, the MZ4 will be running the v8 from the new M3s.

Pretty car, though.
