Or a new stand alone flavour of "Extra-Boost Energie" drink mixed with a label of Scottish Whiskey?

BMW used it for the BMW 3.0 CSL a few decades ago, with an encore in 2015 for the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage.

What he meant was:

Either way, the combo is terrible.

São Paulo Yellow is one of the standard colors for extra cringe.

Sao Paulo on the G87?

[SCOTT26]

"Rockstar" is the code name for the XM.
Red Label, Black Label, Blue Label for those familiar with Johnnie Walker Whiskey and also the Specifications for the XM Stand Alone vehicle.

So it's a Bentley?

A stand alone ///M vehicle? Or is it a stand alone X vehicle? The designation isn't clear from a basic marketing perspective.

Previous spirits project code names:

• "Jägermeister" for the E92 M3 GTS (Jägermeister digestif - former sponsor);
• "Pyrat" for the E82 1M (Pyrat rum);
• "Pyrat2" for the F87 M2.

Bentley's first chassis, the 3 Litre, was offered in three variants

• Blue Label
• Red Label
• Green Label

The names were the suggestion of George Paterson Walker and have remained in use throughout the company's history. Black Label was added to denote the Highest Performant Variants beginning with "T" models and continued with Speed models.

Is this still up to date or even official? G42 Curved Display without touch screen? Choice, optional?

And, the Drift Machine for the F87 M2CS

Will there be 2 rounds of M3 LCI for this generation? I know the 2023 model will get the new ID8, but it doesn't seem like there will be any exterior changes. Should we expect any exterior changes for the G80 generation (e.g., headlights, taillights, etc)?

G80 has 4 series front end so it the 4 series or the M4 get new headlights, the M3 will do so as well

A few minor updates and one biggie: G2x are going to have an unusually long life, 1-2 years longer than the normal 7 year lifecycle.

That's very interesting. I guess it makes some sense since they are the very last ICE versions of those cars.

Your last update on the G87 as potentially manual tranmission only for the U.S. Does this mean that any special editions (CS/CSL) will most likely be automatic only if they are global cars?

I noticed the G80 production got updated from 2025 to 2027 end of production

Given what else bmw has said about the ice overall market still existing for a long time despite some select markets working to legislate the transition to electric faster, I wonder if this delay is not to kill an ice offering in this segment but instead to coordinate "new class" as the replacement for the i4/i3 with still offering hybrid variants of 3 series on an update of the existing platform.

-Right now the i4/i3 and the standard car share a platform.
-BMW has said they think the market will be large enough later in the decade to support new class as its own offering in the 3 series segment
-They have not said they will abandon ice in that segment as a result, only that new class will not be planned for hybrid variants
-I doubt they would walk away from ice/hybrid sales in a high volume segment for the brand

[MarkDoronin]

yes, there are a lot of facts and truth in your post, but today, probably few people know how events will develop

NFW it shows up here manual only. In fact we'll be lucky to even get one.
