Except I cringe at the sorts of ugly, "retro" stylings they would come up 
with-certainly nothing as beautiful as the original. Would you really want to 
see that-just for the sake of being able to walk into a BMW dealership and see 
a psuedo (certainly 'redesigned' and 'updated') Triumph badge? Why, it would be 
like digging up my late mum and tarting her up like Britney Spears!

It would have to be greatly rebodied-the Z3 being one of the uglier of the 
popular designs out there. (IMHO ;-)
