Yes. It's called a BMW Z4


dave1888 - 1/2/06 at 10:53 PM

Unfortunatley not, this could be the new Austin Healey.


Hellfire - 1/2/06 at 10:55 PM

I was just gonna edit my post by saying

........ with an Austin Healey 3000 MKII grille.


Hellfire - 1/2/06 at 10:56 PM

It's a fine looking motor though.
