So the WorldCarfans site cites BMW press conference at 6pm Pacific Time. Is that official?
My wish list for info in this order: 1. Steering system 2. Approx. Weight 3. Engine layout ( V6/I6 ) 4. FI configuration 5. Suspension type 6. Hp/Tq |

I think 7-8k should probably do it, if they are 10k on the M5/M6
Pedestrian safety requirements no doubt. It creates an impact crush zone on the bumper between the hood, in attempt to prevent it from directly axing into their leg. |

Looks likely and will be a very pricey options, minimally $5k. Also they are carbon ceramic which is an entirely different beast than carbon fiber...
And no, not carbon fiber, again carbon ceramic

No full view of the hood though...
![]() We might still have a surprise regarding the power dome and hood vents setup ![]() I love the front lip and diffuser. I hope they make it to production. The exhaust is also much nicer than the ones we saw on the test mules. Looks like an M-performance exhaust and hopefully it is the basic configuration. Note: front tires are 255/30R20 |

I'm waiting for the sedan.
I prefer to scare the whole family in comfort. I also plan to give the new car a model year or two to prove itself RELIABLE.
