TEASED: BMW Working On A Rare Classic With Kith

Fieg posted the initial teaser on Tuesday, providing no clues, but then another followed the day after with the simple caption "Chapter II" and a close-up image of a Kith roundel on what appears to be a classic BMW 2002, or possibly even an earlier 1602. Because Fieg mentions that he has a "very special model being restored" in his interview withBMW M, one might think that this could be the 2002 turbo, BMW's first turbocharged production car, but the grilles don't match. Whatever it is, it seems that Fieg's second project with BMW may be a restoration in the vein of his Kith E30 M3, rather than a limited edition based on a current BMW or BMW M product. Whatever the plan is for the project, Fieg's attention to detail and quality guarantee that it will be fantastic and beautifully finished.

我n the future, the designer could very well embrace thenew age of electrified BMW M cars, resulting in another special edition based on a contemporary car. When quizzed on how he feels about electrification, Fieg said, "I love seeing how BMW is evolving and where the brand is going. I think, as long as the driving experience is never compromised, a brand like BMW can be who leads us into the future."

我f we were in his position, we'd try to get a one-of-a-kind M3 Touring made in our honor, but as a New York resident, thenot-for-America wagonis beyond reach. Pity.
