Why has BMW AG registered the "CS"("Club Sport") name but not the "competition" name. ??? Btw... my sources tell me that(at least here in Europe)... by the end of November 2017... we will be able to "order" a hard core M2 CS or Comp model. I surely hope this is true. Deliveries will be in the Spring of 2018!! Dackel

I'm disappointed in the minimal power bump but maybe 15HP official BMW quote might actually be 30 more HP which is a little better. Pshhh who am I kidding. :bs:

This is the revised i8. Which will make room for a more potent i8S.

Yes. The 6er becomes the 8er therefore we see the Coupe and Cabrio undergoing testing. Hopefully Arctic testing will allow some new surprises.

Oh, no, not again. It seems like BMW is going to fuck hole model lineup again.. why!?
I like what Mercedes have done with their model lineup. They have completly cleaned it up (like BMW was in 2000s), and BMW are now where Mercedes was in 2000s. Im sure in 10 years, BMW will look at Mercedes and see that their lineup looks more clean and will start their own cleaning too. Mercedes lineup looks so much better than the confusing BMW-lineup. It also make sense. 1-series 3dr/5dr - A-class 2-series GC - CLA 2-series GT/AT - B-class 3-series lim/tour/GT - C-class 4-series coupe/cab - C-class 4-series GC - CLC 5-series lim/tour/GT - E-class 6-series coupe/cab - E-class 6-series GC - CLE (and now they will remove this and fuck it up with a 6GT, and do 8GC to CLE copetitor) 7-series - S-class 8-series - S-class 8-series GC - CLS 9-series - S-class Maybach

For your comparison, isn't the CLC a 2-Door compared to 4 GC which is a 4-Door? I don;t think MB has anything like a CLS in the C-Class.

I know, but their massive cleaning of the linue up, make sense for CLA/CLC/CLE/CLS (like GLA, GLC, GLE, GLS). And it is so nice to see that Mercedes has renamed the CL/CLK and all that stuff and included their under A/C/E/S.
BMW should throw whole their lineup, and rename them all so they make sense and looks more clean.

OK, I see we have finally lured SCOTT26 out of that burrow he's been hiding in lately...
About the S55-equipped M2: it's actually unclear, what it'll get as the official name. There are "M2 CS", "M2 Cs", and "M2 Competition" mentioned. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But even if it's the latter, it won't be the equivalent of M2 with ZCP: remember, it's a totally different engine, not an ECU reflash like ZCP does. And yes, in the US it will be MY2019. |

I'm still a little confused, but it sounds like we'll first get an 8er coupe/GC/cabrio, but later there will also be an F06/F12/F13 replacement alongside the "6GT"? I'm still excited for a sub-4000 lb M6 coupe (as I know many of us are), hopefully that still happens...

"M2 Competition" might be merely an internal work name provisionally used inside the system, alike:
For the record: screenshot showing an early sign of life of the "M PYRAT" E82 1M (250 kW - the one with 332 kW never made it to the final cut for commercial sale).

You should order as soon as you find a dealership that gives you a price you agree is fair and has an allocation for March production.

"Pyrat2" was the internal code name for the F87 M2 - info confirmed by Bimmerpost admin Jason (see here and here):
"The code nickname for the M2 is "pyrat2." Why pyrat2? If you recall, the 1M coupe's nickname was "pyrat.""Jägermeister" was the internal code name for the E92 M3 GTS - info provided by former BMW M CEO Dr. Kay Segler and also confirmed on the official BMW M FB page (see here, here and here): "Awesome side note: BMW M GmbH chief Kay Segler says the internal codename for the M3 GTS was “Jägermeister,” a reference to the famous German digestif and frat fuel with a history of sponsoring motorsports."

@ ynguldyn for 2019 in your first post it is written that we could expect a X7 x-drive 50d is it a typo error or we are really going to see the 400hp diesel in North America?
