What about a modification that keeps a bit of the BMW DNA?
Designed by BMW to fulfil the wish of a 4 year old apparently

What if you made it more retro. Maybe bit American pick up . Bit of Chevrolet. Or hot rod eg bit of bulge on the bonnet and curvy wings. Instead of bull bars an aggressive chrome bumper and matching wide lower grill.

Because I feel in a wicked mood, I would say because people out driving would not want to be mistaken for Noddy!

But being honest. I quite like the look of the Ferrari 250 gte 2+2. Their are other variations of 2+2 but for me the 250 gte has a certain appeal. Mix of 50's and 60's styling. And a swb style nose shape.

Just scrolling through the thread and MrsWCA saw the DS / 911 mash up and said whe liked it. Preferred this bit of photoshopping.
Chris - Is it do-able and is it something you would be interested in doing?
I am sure I can find an old 911 kicking around somewhere and I know where there are a couple of DS in a barn...

Tricky to pick the Porsche donor though. The classic ones are too expensive to cut and the moderns don't quite look right.
I will ponder further
