I'm praying it actually drives like a sports car should. BMW better not screw this last chance up. This should be their redemption along with the G30.

Highly doubt it's gonna drive like a sports car should. This is gonna be bigger than the 6 and that thing is a f*ckin boat. Probably more of a luxury gt car to compete with the s coupe, Bentley continental, etc

Nope, 5cm/2in shorter than the 6er according to the concept (4m84 instead of 4m89).

SpenceRx · 11-18-2017, 10:34 AM

Interesting. I look forward to seeing the colors

Does Active Steering include any element of rear wheel steering?

advantage20 · 11-18-2017, 11:37 AM

So in the end M850i as initially expected, not 850i as recently rumored. Which tends to confirm a lineup structure similar to the 5er, not the 7er, and to definitively kill any potential V12 M860i version. BMW wants to move upscale and reinforce its credibility as a luxury manufacturer with the 7er, 8er, X7, X8 and potential 9er, but doesn't want to cover the high-end V12 GT coupé niche after all.

This is my understanding as well but think the V12 could be saved for an M8CS/CSL. I believe at least one of those models has been trademarked already.

cbertels · 11-18-2017, 07:09 PM

A 9er? Is there going to be an M limousine?

N & M · 11-18-2017, 10:52 PM

I hope BMW makes the final design of the car as nice as the show car inside and out.

It would be cool if it did since it was offered on he E31 also way back in the day.

BMWsince2005 · 11-19-2017, 07:11 AM

Is Barcelona Blue the same color as the Show car?

advantage20 · 11-19-2017, 01:03 PM

Probably the rumored Barcelona Blue is in fact the same paint as, or one closely derived from, the Barcelona Grey Liquid from the 8 Series Concept which had indeed a blueish hue to it
