They hit the target for light weight. It has a M3 engine.
The wheels are as close to each corner of the car as possible. The engine is front-mid placed. The hood and front end meet those stupid EU pedestrian impact rules.
I think they did as best they copuld for a front engine
car considereing todays crash regs.
2500lbs and 300hp is going to embarass alot of 997 posers,
who will only ever see the rear end of this car on a track anyway.
Where BMW missed the boat was in not making it a mid engine Uber Elise coupe.

Has BMW even made anything other than FR? I know its a little naive to say, but i cant think of anything off my head.

According to Autoblog, it's pegged to go 0-60mph/100kph in only 4.4, top speed only 168mph. And it will probably have I-Drive.
Save your dough for a 911C2 instead.
Or at least get the M3-due out in ?2007.
