Too many people were going blind as they cast their eyes upon it.

That weight sounds orgasmic, the cylinder count, not so much.

Gotta get the weight as low and away from the front of the car as possible!

BMW currently has the following race going models in their lineup.... and all racing in North America currently. M8 GTE M4 GT4 M240 racing - soon to be replaced by an M2 racing M8 GTE a car designed for the track first and then the production car came out. M4 GT4- currently at end of life with new model coming ? M2 racing - currently being designed on the track ... Sure seems to me a slam dunk to roll out roadgoing models of the same as M8 CSL, M4 CSL, and M2. CSL. Unless BMW simply wants to allow Porsche , Mercedes and Audi to take all the race on Sunday and drive on Monday ////marketing and sales. |

I think 3300 pounds would probably be the best they could do...but with 450 BHP or more, that would be a very compelling car.

Though this link no longer (I'm pretty sure it did earlier, see e.g. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=31) mentions the 6GT as being discontinued!? |

ynguldyn, its confirmed at this point that this didn't happen for SOP MY2020. Any idea if it is still coming for MY2020 as a mid-year update or if it has been delayed until MY2021?

I understand different specs isn't entirely impossible, but I only remember it happening for rarer/smaller sales number vehicles. |

I suppose we won't know for absolute certain that the new engines aren't there until the vehicles arrive at dealerships. It's not looking good at this point. Quote:

That's a bit unfair, multiple models got off-LCI engine updates, like the F48 and the F34, plus they updated all Diesels to SCR/Euro-6d-temp in 2018.

Some examples: You have an x3m running a fully different operating system than the lesser models It's unknown which engine the x3 m40i is shipping with and different answers from different markets (maybe they are different but that goes to the communication item) Several models that have the components but not being updated to driver assist pro, staying on plus despite pro proliferation throughout the model line Look if you feel bmw is doing a good job of communicating with you as a consumer then that is your opinion, I feel it is not very good. I will use ford as a good example in this regard every year they tweak the mustang lineup (new model variants/ option changes) a bit and all the changes are usually pretty clear on page one of the order guide and in press releases. Not saying they are perfect but overall that's a better standard to set. |

Ok, thanks for confirming that. Amazing how BMW NA keeps getting worse and worse at presenting the facts. It make me wonder who in the organization is in charge of product information and how they manage to be so bad at it.

It's even worse than you think. I've just checked bmw.de, which is normally more precise and up-to-date, its build tool still shows 265kW, even though you can see TY91 in the URL, and any lookup of a TY91 VIN will return "B58D" with 285kW.

Why B58D instead of B58O? I guess this four digit identifier doesn’t use the same system as the formal engine codes (B58B0O1)? |
