that is an ambitious goal (same assembly line for everything) guess I see why they can't have dedicated electric platform, only time well tell if it turns out to be brilliant strategy or committing suicide...

Well, more a tech flagship - that's how BMW are placing it at this stage, auto driving level 5 class vehicle.
Let's see how it turns out. Is the chassi build up as a EV from scratch or is it a bread and butter chassi from ICE, as the IX3?

Not sure but it's suppose to be the same dimensions of the X5 so it potentially can be.

Since it's a flagship, I think iX8 would be better, but The X8 moniker is apparently being reserved for an upcoming ICE product (that could conceivably spawn its own electric variant). The i6 name has come up as a possibility in media reports, and it is available since the 6 Series name is only being used by the 6GT right now, and that will not live past the end of the generation. However, it would obfuscate things a bit, because this is an SUV and should have an "X" in its name. Yet the iX6 name would normally be reserved for an electric version of the X6, which this vehicle clearly is not. So it's unclear right now where they'll go with the final name. |

Why do automakers keep trying to tease us with pics of their camouflaged new cars? There's nothing to see here. Same with the camouflaged 2 series and every other car that has done it. Jesus christ stop with the teasers and just wait for Frankfurt.

1- it gives people idea what is coming in near future so they don't shop somewhere else. Like the guy mentioned above: didn't know this car exists, this way they will wait knowing what is coming. 2- camouflage is there so others don't steal ideas before gets revealed which can take couple years.

If BMW hadn't t sold off its Carbon Fiber Plant in Washington State it would've maybe been a reality.

I'm guessing it wasn't cost effective.
Not sure where BMW gets their Carbon Fiber from now. They clearly didn't sell as many i3, and i8's as they might have expected.
