The show is not publicly funded. Quite the opposite, really.

Anyone want to guess what this could entitle in terms of effected components and material?
Lightweight materials in "high-rpm parts of the powertrain" Crankshaft, Pistons, Valves, Camshaft, Turbos, Transmission are a few high rpm powertrain components I can think of. I wonder what materials not already used in the standard engine he is eluding to, titanium sounds too expensive. |

I guess that's a confirmation that the M2 will be I6

Best post on bimmerpost for ages - it answered so many debated questions in one go!
- confirmed RWD only M3/M4 - M (presumably MP ?) of 4 series soon - M2 is pretty likely - M2 will have i6 when (and if) it arrives - i4s and hybrid are not likely or imminent for M - A big diesel M Performance is not ruled out for 3 and 4 series - FN doesn't like the A45 haha |

is it even worth getting a 435i now?
by the time it gets delivered it will be september/october and then this thing will be revealed in january (just 2-3 months later) which im sure will spoil the looks of the "basic" 435i then in a few months from then it will be available for purchase? why bother with a 435i then? why is the M version of the 4 series coming so soon when it took 3+ years for the M version of the 5 to come out? |

the m4 will probably look a lot better and make me say "damn, i wish my car had that" ...it will inevitably happen to every car we choose, but at least let us enjoy our basic 4's for longer than 3 ******* months ![]() the 5 and 6 series owners didnt see the M5/M6 for like 2+ years and got to enjoy their cars for a long time. if i buy a brand new 4 series ill enjoy it and then get teased by the M4's superior looks/tech just a few months later. and im not even talking about the performance yet. the performance is something i probably wouldnt even need but the looks/tech alone will ruin the joy of owning a "basic" 4 series and make me regret my purchase. suppose this car has a much more aggressive air breather side vent, or the LED headlights from the concept, or something along those lines? sorry but thats a deal breaker to me, i just changed my mind about getting a 4 series over that. and now i will probably have to switch to another brand all together since im not waiting til late 2014 for a car. bmw does not know how to make their customers feel special at all. |
