BMW Skytop Production Announced: 50 Unit Limited Production

Msparta · Yesterday, 08:12 PM

I got an invite for this months ago but don’t recall a price … honestly they should produce these as an m only variant and possibly enhance more hp output.

I would be game if it was more accessible but at 50 units they will prob ask for a lot more then I would pay… yet not sure what they are asking… would totally daily this 😂

Meh. It's not ugly but nowhere exciting or interesting either. I'd rather take the 8 series coupe it's based on.

Translation: "We've got a bunch of 8-series bodies in white sitting around collecting dust, and need a way to recoup the dev cost on that program - let's slap some lipstick on this pig with some new sheet metal and see if we can find some suckers to pony up and help us fix that budget hole!"

Non-snark: it's handsome, but looks oddly dated.

or just something nice to look at

42? You're being too optimistic. At least 49 and 1 wreck from a C&C.

Good luck insuring this thing…

Looks like an old Jaguar to me. No thanks.

Wow. I see buttons on the dash while we mere mortal BMW buyers have to navigate deep into a touch screen menu for a basic function!

Cool or not, this isn't what they should be building.

easy money grab … needs bespoke interior with proper gages to match the style

Since I can’t relate to this I am going back to the G42 forum and reality.

Nice. BMW trying to take a play out of the Porsche book. Buying a Porsche has turned into a shit show.

I mean I know it makes sense as an automaker from a logistical and supply chain standpoint, but I can tell it shares parts with a 2 and 3 series. It looks similar to any cabin that bmw has put out in the last 4 years, what’s so special about that?

Appreciate the idea and effort, but nope, design wise it isn’t working, at all.

Doesn’t matter when they make only few of these. It’s gotta be much more than the XM
