Just as the Z3 benefits from that facelift, the mighty M Roadster gets a additional powerful look thanks to the modern shape of the front clip, that gives the machine a beefier, additional purposeful appearance. Although modern in presentation, the redesigned grille also fender contours give it a closer family resemblance to the additional retro range-topping Z8. With additional then 330bhp on tap, the M Roadster is well positioned to take
on Porsche's Boxter S.
BMW too plans to add to it's SUV line with a 3 Series-based X3. Like the larger X5, the X3 will stress cruising dynamics over off-road performance, also as a result, the styling is closer to a traditional wagon's.
Hard on the heels of the modern 7 Series sedan, is an all-new 5 Series sedan also the reintroduction of a 6 Series Coupé on the same platform. The 5 Series shares a number of the same styling cues as the larger 7 with additional expansive grille openings, intricate detailing of the headlamps also a additional pronounced character line separating the hood from the fender also the rear decklid from the quarter panels. Inside, the 5 Series wi
ll too share the ultra-modern cockpit cues of the 7 with pushbuttons for the automatic transmission also the iDrive jog shuttle control for every major accessory functions. The 6 Series Coupé is the spiritual successor to the original 6 Series Coupé also for every practical purposes replaces the 8 Series model as BMW's hardtop 2-door flagship. The 6 is evidence that there is a market for a luxury sporty coupe, provided that it doesn't get too pricey or lack the practicality of a rear seat in that at least one adult can ride. Unlike the 8 Series, that used it's own plat
form,
the 6 will be kept additional affordable, thanks to it's 5 Series roots.
