Details about M5 CS and iX1, Alpina B8.

Cross-posted from future BMW info thread: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=901686

M5 CS

F90 M5 CS will be in production for precisely one year from March '21 to February '22 as a 2022 model. In the end, it won't be as extreme as many hoped. The same engine as regular M5 tuned to 625hp, CF buckets, more CF in the body, no middle passenger in the back, special wheels seem to be the only major things.

iX1 EV

The electric version of the next generation X1 (will be sold as "iX1") will be available in single-motor and dual-motor configurations with two range options. As a hint of motor power output, the designation for the single motor model will use "20" and the dual motor will use "30".

Alpina B8 Gran Coupe

Alpina B8 Gran Coupe starts production in March '21.

Truly don't see the point of M5 CS then

The price was indeed not right, but outside the US market, the idea of a dealer ordering cars for the lot is not very common. Some countries in Europe received only a handful of allocations, which got sold quickly. Second-hand CS' still command a pretty hefty premium over CPs over here.

To keep the interest in a model already in its second half of production cycle high - every M5 known to man (E39 excluded) had several special editions.

Any sportier version of an M car is way better than some hypebeast collaborations... M5 CS over M5 Kith edition all day long

Is the next model m5 for sure going electric or hybrid ?

I heard L6 Hybrid. From what I know....this will be last with the v8....but are only rumors.....hope the new one will still be v8 off course.

Disappointing on the M5CS. Would have loved to see the car with the CF buckets and carbon body panels plus some serious decontenting like removal of soft close doors, power trunk, lighter door panels, etc. Drop 400 lbs off of it and I am all in on it.

akkando · 11-06-2020, 11:08 AM

So many opportunities to remove weight in this one. Oh well.

GOLFFRR · 11-06-2020, 11:50 AM

CS M5 seems a little over kill but Im still excited and glad things like that are getting made!

Still plenty of dealers in Germany with M3/M4cs unable to sell them.

Neptune7 · 11-06-2020, 11:59 AM

Would the M5 CS have the carbon core tech from the 8 series?

ron_jeremy · 11-06-2020, 12:22 PM

IX1 is it due in 2022?
This is a very intresting car, should do well within EU.

AlexFL · 11-06-2020, 12:32 PM

I bet with you M5 CS will pull 650 whp on the dyno.

Hopefully with some hefty discounts.

Have you seen the soft door closing units? They are tiny and all four door units can't weigh over two pounds.

400lbs off is not realistic. Maybe 125 if all the "conforts" are removed (including rear seats).

only several months ago you could get a M3 CS for less money than a normal M3.

This M5 is a complete dud and misses the point

Do you think that for a tiny volume car BMW will make fundamental chassis changes with all the costs and testing associated with that happening in 2020?

I would be very surprised!

M5 rear seat removal, for real? LoL that's funny.

It's a fair point - though they could leverage the R&D from the 8 series.

Personally I agree with you by the way, it's a very good point. Depends how good your BMW modern history is.

Do we all recall the HUGE fanfare that came with Carbon Core on the 7. Was that 5 years ago now?

I was really expecting the tech to filter down very quickly and am amazed it's barely mentioned now.

Sadly instead of lighter we are also getting heavier. Not 100% on BMW that due to safety regs but still sub optimal.
