BMW Launches BMW NeueClassic Division - from BimmerLife (BMW CCA publication)

[lip277]

I saw an interesting story in my in-box this morning....

BMW’s newly announced division, BMW NeueClassic GmbH, will focus on future-engineering BMW classic models with all the safety, functionality, performance and sustainability of today’s BMW products. Now clients can commission the re-creation of a half-dozen classic models from BMW’s long and storied history. Initial models offered include the 1938 328 Roadster, the 507 Series 2, the E30 M3 EVO, the E46 M3 CSL, with more models planned depending on client requests

I have a hard time envisioning how a 328 or 507 can come remotely close to achieving today's crash standards - let alone anything in the smog department.... or whatever else while still resembling the original car.
The E30 and E36 - sure... but, cars from the 30's or 50's?

Oh yeah - Happy April 1st. LOL
