    Looks like a 350Z. BMW has it's head firmly planted.

    Seems to handle pretty well in slippery condition. Can't wait to see it unwrapped.

    Looks like a wider behind on a 6 series. I think it may also resemble a little like the Nissan GTR too. It's gotta look pretty sick compared to today's cars with the big buff look, but I doubt it'll be ageless like the e31.

    IMHO personally, I think most cars from any brand in the last 15 years or so don't have that timeless look anymore...collectible...perhaps after they're out of production for a long while. Still excited to welcome the revival of a BMW iconic car.

    Don't think the new 8 would ever have the nose of the classic 8er. Reason being is because cars that come into the US are required to be "pedestrian friendly". For example, Jaguar cars used to always have the famous hood ornament but you won't see the leaping jaguar on today's Jags. I think the same design restriction was also mandated in Europe. I could be wrong but maybe some googling would provide the exact reasons.

    Looks like a 6series and with the way bmw have been messing about with their stupid numbers (m4 &#128556 that's what it probably is
