Frankfurt here we come

Really can't wait to visit the Frankfurt Motorshow with Dave (@mcleanfamily88) in September now...
NewBMWIt’s official that BMW “officially” gave the green light to the new BMW Z2 Roadster which will launch in the second half of 2012.
Along with the Roadster version that we have been hearing about for a while now, a Coupe model will be available as well.
z2BMW Z2 is based on next generation 1 Series platform and it is build under the Project i umbrella and the BMW EfficientDynamics program.
The Z2 will be a rear drive vehicle, still with a front-engine approach offered with different options:
  • all-electric engine
  • Hybrid with range extender petrol engine
  • 1.6 l 4-cylinder petrol direct injection engine developing 204 horsepower
The BMW Z2 concept will be unveiled at Frankfurt Auto Show in September
Tickets are really cheap (€20), and it is a cracking day out (Fly out and back with BA same day)...
Oh, and not forgetting the new M5
M5Looks like Matt paintwork could be all the range at both Geneva and Frankfurt this year.
