AY looks good in these pics, so does YMB

BOOstJunkee · 01-20-2014, 12:33 AM

I'm so glad BMW went away from the cup holders being on the dash like in the E9x

NIce. Thanks for sharing

I didn't think they'd bring these cars to the Montreal Auto Show. This sure makes me wanna buy my ticket!!

I again find the sedan better proportioned than the coupe. Not a fan of the slope back. BMW "box" design with killer engines worked for decades... careful BMW, don't fix what worked too much.

Off topic but how come the COTM archives haven't been updated in a while?

Yes the rear is flared as well as the front. It's very hard to tell but after spending several days with the car and seeing it next to an f32 I was able to confirm this.

I can only speak for press days where the cars were unlocked until there were some issues with the batteries draining and triggering the alarms so they had to be locked

Is that true? No front mount Intercooler like the 335i?

The S55 uses air to liquid intercoolers, the aluminum boxes by the engine transfer heat to the liquid but there has to be another heat exchanger somewhere to transfer heat from that water to the air. That's probably mounted in the front like the FMIC on a 335i.

Using a liquid cooling system with the air to water heat exchangers so close to the turbos and engine should be great for throttle response, the charge air won't have to go through an entire frount mount intercooler like it does on the N55.

I am impressed. Look at all that carbon fiber inside!

ALPINA B5 · 01-20-2014, 04:37 AM

finally...the right gearbox

Cool!

Great pis, Exmowner. The speedometer is in MPH. I thought USA have dual KM & MPH, whereas Canada only has KM.

Are the M3/M4 still on display in Detroit, or did they move them to Montreal? Was going to Detroit later this week to see them.

PhillyNate · 01-20-2014, 07:41 AM

One positive is I'm in love with the manual gear selector. The shape, location, size and look are ALL perfect. Let's hope it feels as good.

If you've ever driven an E9X, then you've already experienced it. It's a carryover from the previous car.

Wow, I just enlarged the pic (on my IPhone) and you appear to be correct. The way it appeared on my phone looked like the Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ.

Funny, I was on the fence between 6MT and DCT and those pics cemented it....for DCT.

Finally! A photo that shows off the rear fenders on the M4!
