Nice picture, I can't belive supercar.net put their logo on the pix. It was sent out from BMW AG press kit for the autoshow. I have that photo on my desktop right now. Go BMW!!!

Anyway, that is a cool picture of that interior. I never realized that with SMG the brake pedal are still at the same spot as manual trans. I thought with the absent of a clutch pedal, they will make the brake pedal as big as the automatic one.

But, the interior looks cool and like my post awhile ago about the same topic. It is one Cool looking car and awfully fast.

I don't like the lower edge of the front spoiler on the "concept car".

When are car makers going to decide that enough is enough and street cars are already fast enough??

Don't get me wrong, I love speed and hate speed limits, but things are starting (or did a long time ago actually) to get stupid...

Tokyo James,

hehehe, you're right of course but I guess they're just trying to catch up to sportbikes.

Am I the only one who thinks carbon fiber is ugly??? Ok, sure it's light, but why not paint it? At Nopi Nationals, every car had carbon fiber dash adornments and I was like, WHY????? I can understand brushed aluminum because it is classy, but not carbon fiber. I can respect anything that is made out of carbon fiber to save actual weight (ie. hoods, body panels, but please paint it) but I don't see the purpose of having it for decoration. I also don't get the CF Cold air intakes. Would it matter what material it was made out of?

End Point: Carbon Fiber is not TRICK, DOPE, FLY or any of the other things/words Ricers use to describe stuff and gear.
