LOL, can't help but saying what comes to mind on first observation - revenge of the cones! :rollsmile:

Seen another 1M with a shoehorned M5 V10 in there! Crazy!!! :dizzy:

They won't, because then it would make the M3/4/5/6 etc look stupid. Sort of like the Z3 M Coupé which had to be slightly "hindered" by the gear ratios so as to not outshine the E46 M3. But yes, small market, I reckon it would be awesome if they were brave enough to risk their larger ///M cars.

easy solution would be the make it VERY expensive with the best parts available and a limited production run

you dont see c63 sales being dented by the Black series :)
