Quote from the article above:
?Engines will max out with top performing inline 6 cylinders, as is usual for the Z series, but BMW is also studying a possible M version that may adopt a V8 powerplant from the M3.?
Note the author does not mention anything about a V6 engine, instead a (possibly improved version of) the 6-cylinder inline powerplant already used in the current Z4. And the studying of the possible installation of the V8 from the M3 is surely not unreasonable if you remember the V8 in the SLK55 AMG.

if they start building a Z2, they can also start building toys^^

What kind of a reliable source is this claiming that BMW is producing V6's!!!

nice try, but the 'illustration' still looks too plain and obvious for a bmw. though the 7 series and the x1 already look more mainstream when compared to the likes of the 6 series - which design i like better, actually.
and... V6? really?

you'd think that the one writing the artikle would know better than the one reading it, but no. Doesnt the artikles go trough any editing?

lol you're funny...
especially because the m3 brags about having a V8 and the m5 and m6 a V10 and the 760 a V12

lol, yes it actually is my fault. I was the one who proofed the story by Alex. I missed that V instead of I. Cheers.

Since when did the Z-series only have straight sixes? No-one remember the Z8?
I have low expectations of the new Z4. BMW can do greta sports saloons but there attempts at sports roadsters have all been a little lame over the past 20 years.

I'll bet the artist rendition looks better than the real ba(u)ngled job.

It's either people are from selective reading or are escaped patients from ...you know where. This article is as clear as crystal so where the V6 comes from is shocking coz the alleged 'V6' reads 'V8' on my computer. The car looks sporty anyway and not like some over stretched bettle wanna be - yah know which one.

Ahh yes, another attempt from BMW trying to enter the sports car segment. Will this join the CS, M1, Z3, Z8, Z9, 8 series?? BMW has a tradition of shocking us (in a bad way) with their models.

its all because of chris bangle and his notorious BANGLEBUTT, they need a new head designer, and someone with the balls to design a ferrari, lambo, porsche turbo fighter especially because of there engines in the m-line and the v12 in the 760, and the new 4.4 turbocharged in the upcoming 7
