Close thread.
Unless you want a car with a suspension that was not designed 50 years ago.
I suspect you're thinking of the Z3 M Coupe, which had the E30 rear trailing arms. And was a blast. I miss mine.

The M3, perhaps one of, if not the best, BMW hits, encapsulates all the firm stands for. The first model debuted in 1985 as a homologation special, which meant it was made available to the general public so BMW could race it https://technoburst.com/best-motherb...ryzen-9-5900x/.

Funny thing, the Oletha is based on the E86 Z4 Coupe; so LOL, it has the E46 platform suspension (antiquated as you think it is ).

I just found out the car is based on the E86 from the thread about it on the E85/86 Forum. Look close and you'll see the rear quarter windows are original E86 as is the roof, which I missed last week at first glance. Looking at the few interior photos, which I didn't until now, it's straight E85/86 door cards hanging on the doors.

So basically its just a re-facia'd E86 with a BMW E90 V8 in it, with coil-overs and big brakes. Even screams more Z8 poser than I originally thought.

So apparently, the "perfect" BMW DOES START with an E86 Coupe...

BMW really hit the sweet spot w/the M2C. It's going to be a very high bar to meet again.
