Hi,

Quote- '' I can't see why not Gorilla........''

Just look at the New European Emission
requirements which both BMW and Merc
have been instrumental in bringing
about.

Its why all these Performance ''Turbo motors'' are now
being pushed to the forefront, Emissions.

Then you have the saftey requirements which
stripped out lightweight Racers struggle to
make for Impact and Crush testing, and
last but not least, the costs, limited runs are
very costly to produce and manufacture
for Mainstream manufactueres, have limited target audience
and useally end up as PR exercise, not much else.

Look at the financial mess Porsche got itself into
and which almost sunk it without Trace and which
was in most as a direct result of building limited run bespoke
Cars for customers preference, they almost vanished,
even given the prices they charge.

I wager you'll see ''Limited edition'' badged GTS or
something, but nothing along the lines of a
CSL v std E46 M3.

I would like to be wrong but the Bean Counters at
Munich call the shots now, not the MS Division.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
