Looks cool but not as cool as the M3 GTR.. They should have switched the engine to a V8 with 500HP Then it might be worth it..

THe race series would probably complain like they did when M3 race cars had V8s.

The price for this thing is just way overtop. €250k is just NOT worth it.

Although I do agree with your point, you really can't compare the Mustang with a CSL BMW. Although I do find the 250k price tag quite hefty, especially since you can get alot more for similar money.

It's very cool. Maybe it can look even better with some unpainted carbon and CSL colour.

With regards to the styling... isn't the Z4 coupe already the work of the new designer? Van Hooydonk? If I recall correctly, the Z4 coupe is supposed to be his first work.

It's just you - full spec series potential winning race cars are waaaaaaaaaaaaay more that $75,000 - hell, many times just the safety equipment, telemetry, hydraulic jacks and fuel cells cost close about $75,000

overkill, kind of looses its appeal, and the nice clean lines, something in between this and regular Z4 would be harsh though

Awesome.
Would be better with the twin turbo engine that BMW is developing, or a brand new V8 maybe.
