BMW still doesn't have an answer to SL, AMG or reg strength. No answer to the S63/65 AMG, and no answer to the SLS, and it's upcoming replacement the GT. |

It's only when they realize that they either are spread too thin, or have diluted the M brand that they will realize. Mercedes had their issue a few yrs back, when it came to quality control and also the burden of the aquisition of Chrysler. |

I absolutely loathe the GT cars. They are nothing short of hideous. Arguably two of the most unsightly cars being sold today.
Want a sedan? Get a sedan. An SUV, get an x3 or x5. A wagon? Get a wagon. With exception to the gran coupe, I think hybrids rarely end up being good looking.

The only unannounced M cars that I'm interested are the M2 and the Z5M. There has been plenty of speculation on the M2 to date, but not a lot on the Z5M. Scott, when will we get more info on this car?

Is that a confirmation? I haven't visited the 2 forum for a while but I thought the M2 was just speculation? Scott26 probably can't answer that but I take it as a very good indication.

Ohh here is inside the trunk just in case you were wondering. I was also able to transport a Sony 70" LED TV in here, of course out of the box. It fit perfectly.

Thanks Scott26 you will love it. It is a really versatile car. Perfect for me, I am divorced with two kids and needed a bigger car. I didn't want an SUV and didn't want an station wagon. The sedan didn't have enough space. I can drive responsibly when the kids are with me and still be able to punch it when a jackass is on my ass on the autobahn. Kinda feel like Goldilocks, the size was just right.

M7 would be lame.
They should make M performance everything, formally adopt Alpina to make highway bruisers and save true Ms for cars you would take to the track. That would allow BMW to have their cake and eat it too. |

seems like M division is more looking for what sells more and what brings back more money. they aren't considering taking risks. they aren't looking for customers satisfaction anymore.
I really can't see the issue behind manufacturing a super car !! where is the problem ? LOL not expecting it to sell much ? other projects may sell more ? Are they really thinking in this manner while BMW is one of the top selling brands worldwide !! what I'm sure of it's not of course technical limitations.

Granted, this current Z4 is a bit more comfy and civilised than the previous Zs but still it is the closest thing to a sportscar BMW currently offer and the best platform for an M model in my opinion. Yet, no Z4M. So, like many people said, cars such as M2, M4GC, Z4/5Ms even M3 Touring should take priority over an M3 GT. Of course we are just enthusiasts so what do we know. |

Ladies and gentleman.
I have to believe in yourself and buy the car you have always been faithful. Each person acquiring what you like the most. I personally I have trouble understanding the GT philosophy and not buy a car of this design but there will buy and who you a have to respect that. BMW is locally analyzing their way to expand their economic character issues, but must care product that adds an M version that could be contradictory and damaging to the company, to be agreed when they bought the Rover brand if indeed turned something beneficial for the BMW group. I think the 3 Series models is the key point of the philosophy of the brand is the one that led the company to success for many decades and it should not be played. I understand that BMW want to continue with the advantage over Mercedes and Audi massifying products, do not cannibalize the brand M, should be more selective, but you must understand that in this life and we all know sometimes you win and others lost, in work, in personal relationships, family relationships is reality. |
