and it makes those back seats worthy, not that anybody would care

That's what I thought. Looks like the M Coupe aka clown shoe. One of the stiffest chassis that BMW has ever built. Would like to see it made.

Some of the old timers can back me up on this, but I've being doing hatch and vert for a long time (since MkI). Here are some of the old designs til got to that ver.

Also FYI, before Ferrari release FF, I've already made that hatch ver and a lot of members were stating Ferrari designers copy my designed and made it into FF... so don't get that part mixed up. I didn't copy FF!

MkI Hatch - Chopped w Impreza hatch rear
MkI ver - Try to do 350 Roaster design vert
Mk1.5 Hatch aka FTI - Joke as FT86 & STI
& rest are MkIII w different styles (hatch, vert, targa).

Again, all those photos can be found in photoshopped sections that proves that I didn't when I claims.
My hat is off to you sir. You did a hell of a job. I'll go change my original post to give credit where it's due

Build that and give me a TRD or STI option with around 250hp and over 200ft lbs. at the tires and it's game on! The M Coupe is one of my favorite cars in the world. This render combines the best of that car with the FRS and that can't be a bad thing! Nice job!

Ichi, your voice is so sexy!



Also, I love this interview! It's amazing how down-to-earth Tada-san is that he can just sit, chill, eat some tasty food, and chat with a fan about what he has spent so many years working on.

I would love if they made this car a hatch (or even a liftback). The chop reminds me a lot of the E36/8 M Coupes.

And here I was thinking that we were about to become bestest of buddies. Shoot. Now my day is ruined..:happy0180:

Kidding and sarcasm aside, I didnt mean I dont understand why others like them. They are a little more functional than a coupe, a little more spacous, and obviously fit someone's style, like yours. Just cant do it myself. They are more like a mini-stationwagon to me and I couldnt stand those. Give me the nice smooth curves of a coupe.
