I only said committee because EVERYTHING at BMW is consensus driven, including what to do as part of the online engagement campaign this quarter. No issue in itself, I quite look forward to the marketing ditties from our particular friend. Wish i could get one of his reports back to the mothership?
If BMW scoops were exhaust gases, than SCOTT26 operates - to some extent - as wastegate, operated by BMW.

What sedan or car in this class has dropped over 400lbs over its prior version??

IF this car has actually dropped 400 pounds it still in 5 series weight class

So preformance will not be much if any better than the old model (if that is of any interest).

I will be very interested to weigh one once a demo arrives.

Yeah though this prototype promised a lot when it was doing rounds of news but in reality it’s not that a great car. Looking at crash pics, I think it won’t protect people behind the wheel. My cousin works with a DUI lawyer and tells me how important it is to be in a safe car as your life depends on what you are driving.
