No thanks - I'll stick to 6 or 8 cylinders, or maybe a buttery all electric if I need to go green. But no high revving output leaf blowers for me! |

Amazing how people get so up in arms when the company is just tyring to INCREASE their appeal by making their product spread more versatile, or more appealing to a broader range of buyers. No one said they are ONLY going to make 3 cylinder motors.. How are their priorities " lost" ? I don't see a single word about them NOT continuing to bill themselves as, and make " ultimate driving machine with sport inspired cars " The moment BMW suggest mention Sport and Economy (hey guess what - the terms are not mutually exclusive!) people just go into conniptions DON"T TAKE AWAY MY FAVORITE !! I WON'T BUY ANY MORE IF THEY DO "X" . WAAAAH!!! Etc etc... ... LOL.. Simma down .. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 01-25-2014 at 03:20 PM.. |

Rather have an i3 than a boring I4 imo.
Have you even heard the sound of a BMW I3?

So time will come when you are driving through a highway in your new G30 and suddenly a Toyota Corolla flies by

Render looks just what would be expected - same body style but with headlights joining the grille - an unfortunate design direction. The designs are quite predictable now so much so that BMW might as well stop using camouflage altogether. Same goes for the upcoming 7 series. Interior might have the iPad style navigation screen.

He meant, you will feel better if your car looks brand new, but if there is a new model, your car will look old, even if its only 1 or 2 years old.

Nobody said they would have the same wheelbase...just that the chassis would share components. It's fairly easy to use different bits in the middle, while keeping the ends the same. For example, you could make a CFRP center tub, but attach it to the same front and end pieces, with the tub being different.

You know I was just thinking, assuming they eventually replace the Rolls Royce Ghost (which I am sure they will) and assuming they go about its replacement in the same way they did the first one (basing it off of the 7er) then the 3er will be on the same basic platform as a Rolls Royce.
Something about that just seems wrong. |

I had a loaner F'10 with the N20 Turbo 4...That was a bad match - horribly under-powered. For our X3? The N20 is pretty nice.
I can't imagine a 3 cylinder with less balls on a 5'er
