For 130k i would have expect the same design with A LOT of power around M5 or M6 standards with a small electric engine for some hybrid features, but definitely not an amazing design with a POS engine and features, i dont care if it has LED or laser headlights, what use is that for when you look fast but can get smoked by V6 mutang or camaro
This is a great looking car, however I always wondered why BMW doesn't have a real halo car. I would think this body design with the engine from the M5/M6 could be that car. The M6 is just too big and heavy to be that car. I also think that BMW could use this body along with the engine and tranny from the M5 and be in the same price range as the i8 and this car could rival the Audi R8 and 911 turbo/turbo S.
