BMW has confirmed a new BMW Roadster will make its grand debut in just over two weeks time. What they haven’t revealed is\u00a0what badge this drop top will bear.<\/p>\n
Sources speculate this fresh rendering is either the long anticipated i8 Roadster or a convertible version of the equally anticipated\u00a0Z4 successor. Amidst the rumours, some assume this could also be a cabriolet version of the 8-series.<\/p>\n
The latter seems rather odd as the German manufacturer\u00a0has already confirmed the 8-series will make its North American debut before its launch in 2018.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Bavarian brand won’t confirm this BMW Roadster is part of the Z4 successor lineup.<\/p>\n
In case you’re unaware, Toyota and BMW are working in collaboration to build the next Supra and “Z5”, with a variety of motors including a 2-litre four cylinder mated to either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox. There are also talks of a straight-six engine pumping out 450 horses!<\/p>\n
A full reveal of this mysterious BMW Roadster along with an 8-series concept is expected for Thursday, August 17th at the prestigious\u00a0Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.<\/p>\n
BMW has a rich history of revealing\u00a0“show” cars at the event. Last year, they rolled out a fully restored 1957 507 roadster which was once by Elvis Presley. Previous events have also had the pleasure of hosting the 2002 Hommage and 3.0 CSL Hommage vehicles.<\/p>\n
That leaves us with 17 days to speculate where this model fits into the BMW lineup.<\/p>\n
