Or Husqvarna, but I have the following on good authority from a BMW source: - The blades are optional and part of the Lawn Sport package. - There will also be retrofit M Performance options: carbon blades and grass collectors - The suspension upgrades will allow 25 - 70mm adjustment of grass length Unconfirmed as yet the top of the line model will also feature twin grass dispensers as the current M235i. |

This will depreciate F10 so much!
I also feel that this upcoming car will be a HUGE advancement over the F10. I hope BMW loses 500lbs of weight with the new generation |

Says the poster with the 435 on order and not the 428?
I have to my disdain driven the 528 and it's ridiculously under-powered - it's a dog in fact. N20 is perfect for 3, X3, X1 and 2 series though..

Oh yeah today, of course. The beauty of seeing an e39 brand new at the dealer would be nice

So if one follows the normal 7 year life cycle for German cars then the last F10 would launch in June of 2016 as a 2017 model and the G30 would debut in June of 2017 as an 18' model. However, the LCI for the F10 launched a year early- so perhaps BMW will only have the F10 be a 6 year car here in the U.S. |

What I find interesting is the naming convention.
We were seeing an Ex platform for multiple generations, now the Fx platforms will only carry ONE generation of each representative model (X1 being the last to potentially gain an F platform). Is there a justification or as to why they are not going to do an F60 - or a higher numerical expression of the Fx series? |

A three cylinder. Hmm. I thought it was bad when the cut the straight 6 down to 4 now they're taking off one more. Next thing you know they'll have a one cylinder with 5 turbos... That's literally a joke. I could maybe understand the 1 series having this but the 5? What are they doing over there?!

I'm not a fan of F10 mainly because the size/weight so i'll be skipping a generation. 4400lbs for performance car is not good. I don't care if they managed to hide the weight because laws of physics are there for a reason.
The next generation or G series M5 cannot come soon enough. 600hp and 400lbs less weight.. that will equal better hp/lb and will be much faster than F10. If we are to guess each 10lbs saved = 1 hp then you are talking about 40hp from drop in weight plus another 40hp from bump in power to 600hp and that is if it is not even more. That is 80hp right there more than the abomination that is F10. What is the downside again? other than frying tires when you attempt to put down 600hp in rear wheels

I am really going to s**t bricks if the G30 3-cyl could get 5 people and a trunkload of stuff onto a freeway in decent time, otherwise I am starting to lose faith in BMW, and I've loved BMW since I was 17.

On another note, until BMW starts using all aluminum chassis or carbon fiber tubs there are huge disadvantages to loosing weight also. M5 needs to play dual roles very well.
