I realize that BMW's clientele these days aren't exactly purists who seek out minimalism; but are in fact people who just want options——however this car is a disappointment when it should have been a total champion of 'back to basics'!

TBF only so much one can do with the inherited F20/21/22 chassis. Next gen needs Carbon Core trickling down from the very top cars. |
Not even carbon core IMO.
Stripped back seats
Removed insulation
Plexi glass windows
Lightweight exhaust
Lightweight wheels
Lightweight seats
Carbon roof and hood
Roll cage in
Easily 100kg out.
They could have done it. Cars these days don't need more power. What they need is less bulk.
