That would be a huge surprise for me.

Make an M140i really sence if the next 1er gets the UKL-platform´and an M135i with ~350PS B48 !?

BMW, please stop wasting money to those CarPlay.

The Automotive Enthusiast · 09-08-2015, 12:17 PM

The 340i is noticeably punchier. The steering around town is still too light but it really becomes what a BMW should be when you're pushing it. Steering feel is marginally better.

Any update on if the F52 (fwd 1-series sedan) is or is not coming to the United States?

Thanks!

At the moment, it looks like a China only thing.

newoldbeemer · 09-16-2015, 07:36 PM

Would be nice to have the 1-series hatch though. I'd pick that over say, a GTI. Especially with a 35i engine.
(please don't say X1)

Any further updates on the upcoming i3 changes (aside from the new Fluid Black color)?

Bigger battery 1-2 years from now.

Thanks. I assume this means a battery of the same physical size but with higher energy density, resulting in more range.

sth519 · 10-07-2015, 10:46 AM

Any news on the M440i GC (as referenced by Scott26 in the N55B30T0 thread)?
Are there any confirmations besides Scott's post? Any rumored release dates?

ynguldyn · 11-15-2015, 08:01 PM

New updates in the top post.

New info:

740e and 760i are coming as MY2017, and M760i will be there either alongside 760i or as the only 12 cyl variant.
X2 is F39, not F47, and for now it's only xDrive28i for the U.S.
F34 LCI will be in 07/16 for MY2017.
F90 M5 (spy pics) is confirmed with the same engine as the current M5 (tweaks are possible of course) and xDrive only.
Wifi hotspot and wireless charging will be available for MY2017 in all 2/3/4 series cars.
MY2017 i3 (07/16 intro) will come with the 94Ah battery (the current one is 60Ah, so expect the new model to have 120 miles all-electric range; it is possible the 60Ah versions can be retrofitted with the new battery).
(So far unconfirmed, but the signals are strong) All UKL platform cars (both BMW and Mini) are going to get the dual clutch transmission some time in 2017.

M5 owner here.

Pretty much my reaction to the OP's post.

I should have taken the red pill.

Any info on M3/4 ZCP by any chance?

SamS · 11-25-2015, 02:34 PM

Still seems odd to me that next M5 is F90, not G80.

Lt1camaro · 11-25-2015, 02:48 PM

Oh my god, AWD only M5? Plesae call 911 my heart hurts!!

AKRAPOVICOWNS · 11-25-2015, 04:19 PM

The M5 cant put the power down as it is now, imagine with 600+. We all know the xdrive will be very rear biased, as stated by the M boss.
