While we're at it, what happend to the Porsche License agreements? I have seen many models coming out for Forza lately, does this mean that Electronic Arts no longer holds an exclusive contract?

Turn10 dropped their pants and took it in the nr2.

Meaning: Turn10 sold their soul and paid EA lots and lots of money to get a sub-license.

I'm only interested in two Beemers, M3 E30 Evo or DTM and CSL Alpina or Schnitzer

They should sell Brabus BMW and ruff porsche DLC....no slow cars, 500hp minimum.

RUF is not really Porsche, the only similarity is car body shell. Its a "bad compromise" for Porsche enthusiasts.

Agree 100%.

They look the same and have the engine in the same place but the similarities ends there.

The only RUF i would want is the Yellowbird. Just to scare myself shitless every once in a while.

It's a question of desirable cars with consideration to licencing costs, and I'm guessing that it would cost less to have say 5 Brabus and 5 RUF than to pay BMW and Porg for some of their original supacars......

The Yellowbird, AHMYGAWD...

I want a couple of slow-ish enthusiast cars though, like a Mazda MX-5 NA (Gen 1) or something... It's A LOT of fun

I dunno, I always feel like I'm wasting my life driving slow cars, lol.

Not sure why you mention BRABUS and BMW together...
Brabus is a Mercedes tuner. And it´s just a tuner, it´s not a car manufacturer.
You would need a Mercedes license to build those.
And if you have that i´ll rather take a CLK-GTR then a S-class with 800 hp.

We have a BMW license, why not make as many as possible?
If we get a Porsche license then we take it, why settle for a cheap copy?
RUF isn´t even what it used to be.. back then it was beautiful cars, now they seem like they are on LSD and just produce 1000 horsepower monsters like any other tuner.
Gemballa for instance. Except RUF is a manufacturer.

Who does the high spec BMW builds.....

Alpina you might think off? They are a manufacturer but really their cars are much softer then M cars.

They do have the 6-series GT3 version though. B6 GT3.

 

[David Ignjatovic]

ah yes, that's who I was thinking of!!!

 

[William Levesque]

I like this Alpina better

 

[Hampus Andersson]

That´s not an Alpina. It´s a BMW 3.0 CSL

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

And what a CSL it is

 

[William Levesque]

Prepared by Alpina

By the way, yours is the one prepared by Schnitzer I think.

It could have been prepared by Fiat, it would still be a BMW built and designed by BMW
