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. |
