I give BMW less than 3 years to start cutting models.

By then most of the car industry will be doing so.

I'll take the under, as models will be cut sooner rather than latter due to the world wide deep recession.

I don't foresee the X8M coming to market, as the paper work was submitted prior to COVID-19. Different economic situation.

Will the X10M be labeled "XXM"? I think Roman numerals will be the hot new auto trend!

And no M halo car to compete with the 911, AMG GT, or R8. Even Lexus made a super car. But instead, we get an SUV the size of the grand canyon touting around an M badge :

I agree but I am talking about a very stubborn German mentality.

So expect a delay to allow complete clarity of the direction ahead.

Couldn't put a decent 3rd row seating in X7, so BMW needs X8

Unbelievable... The most common reaction here after learning that BMW might produce a new M model is bitching. The worst part is that they haven't even seen a sketch of it let alone a concept. Hating something without even seeing it first... that's a new low. Take an effin business class people. Car companies like BMW need to expand their product lines, pierce new markets (or create new ones) in order to attract a new clientele if they want to maintain growth and keep that top position among luxury car makers.

Follow the model info. X8 will be luxury 4 door 2 row model. No 3rd row.

SUVs are horrible. They look horrible and use more fuel due to their weight and rubbish aerodynamics.

The only proper reason for owning one, is if you need the ground clearance and 4WD for traction off road.

Here in the U.K. we call them Chelsea tractors.

Even worse, a lot of manufacturers sell cars that look like an SUV, that don't even have 4WD, so they are just bloated estate cars (station wagons). Some are so ugly, it makes you want to throw up.
