Everyone knows that we could fit a V12 in the E89: it's ridiculously long and has a lot of wasted space. I personally don't care for the long hood. I prefer smaller cars, so I don't understand this BMW logic of making larger cars just for the sake of making them look a certain way.

Its not that roadsters have to have long hoods. Its just that traditionally they do. Personally I don't have a problem with longer cars, just as long as they keep the weight down.
