How so? A Supercar with a BMW badge will sell regardless of whether or not it performs well. You can't relate the M1 launch to current times.

If they make a supercar, all they have to do is make it a decent DD like the Audi R8. Basically, make a RWD R8. Fuel efficiency would definitely have to be a top priority of course.

If BMW can pull that off, then it should be equally as successful, provided that they don't screw up the exterior.
