2018 BMW Z5 - Is this the birth of a perfect car?

A couple of years back Toyota and BMW signed an agreement to build a new set of sports cars. The two would later be unveiled to be the future 2018 Toyota Supra and the 2018 BMW Z5. The latter is expected to be the first of the two cars to be released. Unlike the Supra, the Z5 is going to be a two-seats convertible, and it will not come with a hard-top. Instead, it seems BMW will offer the Z5 only as a soft-top but more on that later.
This time around the Z5 will be built on a brand new platform so that it will share very little with BMW’s other cars. Even though this is not official, it seems BMW is using heavy amounts of aluminum and little high strength steel. Some composites may also be used in its suspension system in order to reduce the unsprung weight by as much as possible.

Perfect? I much prefer the sincere, "not even trying hard", yet absolutely gorgeous styling coming from Porsche. Their iconic 911. Their equally beautiful 718 Cayman. The Spyder variants looks similarly gorgeous.

Didn't Triumph and MG - and TVR - make two seat sports cars a few years(or decades) back? What makes this a "perfect" anything? Calling it a perfect car is nonsense - define what you need in a car - and chances are this one does not do all the things you need. Now - if you have money LIKE MATT to drool over a Ford Powered TVR prototype - as a second car - then go ahead. But - remember - the second seat in these cars was meant for the MECHANIC.

My LS7 TVR runs just fine. There is no mechanic in the passenger seat. I am the mechanic.

The Z5 will continue to be $30K overpriced for what it is and it will continue to be a sales disaster.
