There's a 600lb difference between the M8 (4295lbs) and AMG GT (3666lbs), as well as a big difference in weight distribution (55/45 versus 47/53). Speed/0-60 is of course limited by traction (Switchable AWD versus RWD only). The way these two cars drive is drastically different.

So when that's all that's left, what makes BMW then on the long term? Just another Geely maybe? |

BMW does not have lighter driver focused rwd I6 car anymore. Even electric is waaay behind without dedicated ev platform. Considering they had I8 years ago it doesn't appear they had good strategy. Also hybrid cars are stop gap solution to decrease carbon footprint and are very complicated without any real world benefit, my opinion. The focus seems to be X models so gl to them in the future. |

So let me get this straight.. they changed it from X8 to XM because they wanted it to be an M-exclusive flagship but now there's going to be an XM 45e? That sounds as ridiculous as an M5 50i. Oh wait. I realised just as I finished typing this comment. Sigh
But still.. the M550i actually belongs to the 5 series family. What on earth are they going to call this? The "BMW X" M45e or BMW XM eDrive45? X8 M45e, X8 M and X8M competition/CS/etc would've fit their naming scheme a lot better but what do I know. |

Mexico changes the VIN to a 3XXXXXXXXX. WBS or bust.

I drove a lot of ///M car, currently a M2CS, but I`m not overal convinced of the G82 style, both exterior and interior.
The exterior proportions do not look wright IMHO, and the DigiDash is just b.tt ugly too The engine will as always deliver (although with technical issues like the M3-M4, it's almost history repeating itself) As much as I'm a Bimmer fan, I want to see the car first IRL to make a definite opinion about it. I have severe doubts about this car |

Ok ... "Same S58 as G80/G82 under the hood, tuned to 455hp. RWD - of course."
So this seems to be the non- Competition variant? Then I would expect a torque also in the 550Nm range as with the G80/G82 non-Comp models. What about the M2 Comp. then? 480-490 hp (+30hp seems to be plausible for a Competition variant)? But at what torque??? If it still keeps the low torque number of the 473hp non Comp G80/G82, also the M2 Comp. could be provided with the MT option. If torque goes rather 600Nm+, then M2 Comp will be a ZF only model like M3/M4 Competition ... |
