But it might be better to be positive about it and come up with a constructive response- the Z8 tii perhaps: Change current production/orders to include the new frame upgrade, and offer a free rebuild to all those with current cars, including a new M10 which is only available as an upgrade on the new car (which continues to be sold cheap). Everyone raves about it and can buy the M10 version for megabucks.

Then end that model and sell the M10 version only (and increase the price again to megamoney so as not to flood the market, but ensuring everyone wants one...)

Then BMW could really get off its laurels and give the old V8s to people like us who do so much to support the brand in the first place
