Two outlaws meet

#1 Post by Greg Erickson »

Yesterday on a drive on one of my favorite backroads and stopping at the viewpoint, I met two young men that were having their prototype BMW tested. Beautiful car.

Very cool indeed!

Carfax shows this is a 2008 M Coupe with 71,700 miles as of July 2021. I would think the better description is a "modified" BMW rather than prototype so perhaps they are just testing the mods.

Not trying to be a wet blanket, I think it's beautiful.

That’s a Z4 inside? It’s a fantastic job of making it look like a Z8 coupe, artistically done.
Nice 356 too, I haven’t seen pictures of it for a while.

Very cool, it looks like they want to be the Singer of BMW's and it will be fun to watch what they come up with along the way! Thanks for posting this.
