Though it says "MECH" even for vehicles that only were offered with automatic transmissions. Quote:

Despite of being huge Alpina fan, i do not know if they order complete cars from BMW (most likely) which are then disassembled at Alpina plant to be refitted again with Alpina parts, or they order not complete cars (which IMO makes no logistic sense). That may explain weird findings like that one above. Eg. For sure all E60 B5 were plain 545 models before they were converted to B5. But type code wasn't 545 alike. Just my hypothesis on that. Why i'm thinking i may be right ? Well that is no mystery than in the past i was experimenting with Alpina SW in Vanilla BMWs, had some Alpina's at workshop and i will try to find later in my archives a photos of Alpina cars/strut i have seen in the past, with original BMW VIN crossed, and new Alpina VIN stamped below. And type codes were quite unique, created by BMW but not used in Vanilla BMW cars. TLDR - mean some type codes from day zero are reserved only for Alpinas. |

However, in case of the M4 CS, it has been approved for productions long ago. The first pre-production car was built 5 month ago. As for the MECH and AUT, do not pay attentions to it, it doesn't reveal a thing. Those are just placeholders for they way BMW creates type codes. P.S. Can say goodbye to this source as that list no longer contains any data with the last update Quote:

As I know... European or German Alpina Cars getting a Alpina VIN... US Specs keeps the BMW VIN. |

The Geneva Auto Show has started and we still have no confirmation of what will power the future M4 CS. I am betting on the regular ZCP power plant (450hp) but I have seen postings all over the place from 450 to 475 hp on various forums. How is BMW able to keep this under wrap for so long?
This secret is better protected than the CIA files... |

I did wish for a Geneva reveal.
But, as I posted previously, with a rumored July SOP, Geneva is a bit early in the calendar. The ///M festival in May or Shanghai motor show in April are more likely candidates for the reveal.

Possible. But it was never mentioned in any article I read.

Shanghai in April. But they will be launched on the eve of the show at the huge M Event held before a major Chinese show.

I am still amazed we haven't found out what will be powering the M4CS (how much torque and hp).
I was counting on the Geneva show for that. Still a long time to the next big event... Still searching on various sites... all speculation still. Nothing confirmed anywhere. |

However, it is not impossible the OLED taillights will eventually also be offered as an option on the regular 4-series and M4.
