The V8 and V10, while both lovely, WILL absolutely require a rebuild..rod bearings made of butter.

I'll take the I6...in a Z4M rosdster with an RPi exhaust.

Make it the Z4M Coupe, and you've got a winner.  Old guys like us shouldn't drive convertibles anymore.

I was a "bike guy" before I was a car guy, so I'm still rather fond of open air motoring.

Being a bike guy is why I don't need the open air experience from sports cars, I think.
