I really like what the Chevy ZR2 has to offer but after driving Porsche's, Audi's & BMW's for 25 years I'm a little sketchy.
Anyone here have thoughts ??

Find a nice E91xi. Take it to a SoCal custom shop. Drop in an X3 suspension. Have the roof cut off the back, take the rear seats out, cut out the rear bracing, weld in some new metal. You'll have a BMW El Camino. Probably just as expensive as a Chevy ZR2.
