Not sure if you can still get the 6MT with xDrive for MY2019 - you'd have to check the order guide.

The M240i xDrive comes only with the ZF8. The 340i has one foot in the grave (as we know).

Auto cruise control sensor

I would think bmw engineers have that covered that. Can't see them missing an opportunity to offer a high ticket option in a huge market

Highly doubt it, as the US front license plate mount will probably be higher into the grill area. Remember, the dealership installs the front license plate mount, as if the adapted cruise control is order there will be an unobstructed radar sight line. Southern state customers will not have this issue.

look at a new M5 with US plates and you'll see how it works.

What is delay intro mean? How late?

desertfox73 · 08-03-2018, 04:43 PM

Possibly the least risky/emotionally interesting design possible. I sure hope this thing drives well, because it looks boring af.

Zara · 08-03-2018, 04:48 PM

I don't know if it's just me but I'm not really feeling that headlight design. I feel like the F30 headlights are much better and aggressive.

classyfast · 08-03-2018, 05:33 PM

Collective sigh and ehhhhhh. Nothing new.

Except for the double wishbone front suspension, the M Differentials, the first 3 series M Performance models, and who knows what else as the car hasn’t even been revealed yet!

I know an Audi you may like, or perhaps a Dacia.

The car hasn't even been released yet.

Seems like you just want a smaller car which is fine. My 340i handles well on the adaptive suspension so they fixed that, the only thing left to see is if the driver involvement will be there

I have the M Perf suspension on my 335i and it is amazing. Changes the whole car. It feels more planted and stiff, better than any 340i I test drove.

DML · 08-03-2018, 07:10 PM

Looks like our current "F" series with tape.

Is that going to be on the options list?

ghaffari46 · 08-03-2018, 07:41 PM

Too big, too big.
I stick to my 2 series.
I really miss my e46!

Makes sense, the m perf suspension is supposed to be an upgrade

Soo... headlights to the grill... again.
No imagination I guess...

F80NJM3 · 08-04-2018, 12:51 AM

How sure are we that's not a 5series?

Says you.

I made sure my first BMW was not the E90 as I hated the front of the car.

You may not like it, others do

Question. In the recent photos and just normal model testing (late stage) are the wheels and stance close to production? Seems like not much wheel gap in those latest pics. I understand displays at events having non-production stances for marketing purposes but track testing would have close to production level builds, right? Just wondering.
