The funniest or rather saddest part about this is that they completely missed the first interview Dr. Segler (they got the name wrong as well) gave last November. So they couldn't have it 'on good authority' back in March, let alone now.
If I were them, I wouldn't show how wrong I was by bumping that old article. EDIT: Great comment on their site, Barry. Best regards, south

Heres something else we know, the cars name will have 2 characters. Since we know it will have "M" in it, we are left with the most likely possibilities, 1M, or M2.

I always still think it will be M1, as nobody from BMW M directly said "It won't be M1". If it will be called M1, everybody will know, it is a very true M Car, and the first RWD FI M Car ever.

The point is that it WILL be a "true" //M car -- and InsideLine boldly claimed it wouldn't be. And, in fact, kept ragging on everyone who said it would be an //M. Now they're partially engaged in a CYA operation instead of just manning up and saying they blew the call.
Although, that said, they're still better than TTAC..... |

My vote is for "M Coupe" as the Z4 no longer has a coupe version and won't need that name anymore.

If the answer is yes; BMW need to offer more niche models, then it would also be yes for Z4 Coupé. Well of course only 1 of 7 Z4 is a Coupé, but that is just what I am interested in. Funny is that Audi and Porsche do not have the same problem with the TT and Cayman. Last edited by BMW269; 06-21-2010 at 05:13 AM.. |
