The BMW Zagato Roadster is the latest creation from Bavarian Motor Works GmbH.

BMW’s most basic sedans have become a statement of elegance and status, primarily because of careful engineering, styling, quality construction and attention to media image.

So when BMW decides on creating a top of the line roadster GT Coupe with a label like Zagato, the folks at Daimler Mercedes AMG will not notice the heat coming down the street?

From reviewing the studio illustration, it appears that the hood flares are asymmetrical. The outer edge of the passenger-side hood flare should be on the inside and not over the front headlight side of the car so as to maintain aesthetic symmetry with the driver-side hood flare flanging.
