In this episode of Inside BMW Group Classic, we take you to the sunny countryside of Bavaria with the BMW 507 and BMW Z8.

But first, how about checking out the new entry hall of the BMW Museum and enjoying some hip-swinging fun before we hit the road?

Until our self driving cars kill all pleasure from driving our cars ourselves.

Timeless design. Lightweight. Highly connected driving experience. Hmm, almost like an Ultimate Driving Machine.

I wonder if anyone would be interested in that today? Probably not.

Somewhere at HQ - “Stick a battery in it. Make it heavy.”

Most of the current designs will be oddities not classics in the future.

IMO while the G8x can be considered striking, esp in CSL/CS variants, the way they've inspired memes and "..yes, but" reactions makes me think they did miss the mark. It's one thing for the design to grow on people but another to elicit an immediate desire for it.

Still waiting for the next generation that stops me thinking "yes, the driving dynamics are insane, but..."

Realistically, only from people that are really into cars. For anybody who knows nothing or has a passing interest, it’s insane. I’ve had many nice cars and literally none of them got the reaction that the CSL gets, not even close…

Fair point but the G82 does come in for a LOT of stick over styling. It just surprised me that the reaction of Joe Public is incredibly positive. I’m always asked about taking a photo of it… and it’s always mentioned by people that have seen it and know it’s mine. Crazy…
