Hi GMZA,
it is exactly because of the move towards more efficient engines that I was hoping that a higher performance Diesel would see the light. A big diesel (modern technology) would have the same fuel consumption as a small pertrol but should outperform it hansomely. Check this out (diesels greener than hybrids):

Those pics posted by Gusheshe are along the lines of what I saw in one of the local magazines a while ago. There was definitely talk of a "small" roadster to be called either Z2 or Z1. The pics (artist impression) looked more like a small Z4, here are more pics (here called a Z2):
Can u imagine this fitted with the 3l twin turbo? I can and I have already put my name on a waitiong list at my dealer (they have a waiting list for "concept cars").
Problem is, some sources claim it will be available in 2010, others say only in 2012.
By the way, my read of the Concpt CS is that it will be launched as an 8 series (remember the old 850?).
Regards.
