Interesting look, can't say that I love it just yet?
Btw, the auto start stop function will not stay off every time you drive. But....it will not shut off your motor when your blinker is on. Future BMWs with the auto start stop function will be able to look and recognize stop lights as well. |

Everything I DO NOT WANT in my "fun" car. The exodus continues.......
These cars are becoming appliances. It will be balls-out fast but take no effort for the driver. Everyone better scoop their favorite current N/A with manual transmission now, before it's too late. Automatic transmission only in the next "M"3. I mean really.

If it's really ligher and with rwd option, that's right around e46 m3 weight with almost 2x the power. Winning! |

I'm not happy about the soft top for the convertible. I understand it reduces weight, but if you buy the convertible you're typically not looking for the fastest track time anyway. The retractable hardtop is so nice! And it's sad that the manual gearbox is being phased out. I'm glad I picked up my 6MT F83 over the summer. I will keep it forever (along with my 5MT E39)!

These renderings all look like completely bullshit p-chops of the existing car... Can we please save the shitty p-chops for when the G chassis cars are on sale, please?

seems pretty spot on in terms of specs. render seems to align with the direction of goofier and ornamental front ends with squashed headlights and tails

I actually like it...not sure about those triangle things on the door; but I can see driving it especially if it's 493HP is correct; hoping that will be the final output on the X3M!

Then why not go to a dealer and buy any M that is currently offered.
LSD+Winter Tires+Manual Transmission will give you more control in the snow than 90% of the cars on the road, including the idiots in the subarus with no season tires |

That is sooo ugly from the side and back. Does not scream performance at all. It screams Audi 100. M3 is more than this. Good start w the bumper. Was the bottom grill borrowed from a KIA? There is NO design language here, just bits and pieces borrowed from other car manufacturers and eras. Sorry.
