Because it’s confusing to people when their electric cars are also i

i5M50
m550i

Are the same but in a different order, one being electric the other being a v8.

Personally I wish they would have gone with e5, e7 etc but hey ho

So I assume that also the M350 will have an hybrid 4 cil. engine.

A 6 pot should be named "40" as of today.

Please think about what "M340i" means today.

i5 uses the exact same motor and battery pack from the i4.
Only exception is the i5 M60 which has about 9.5% more hp vs the i4 M50 (same motor different "tuning"). OP has already posted this information in the first page.

You’re confusing model and engine designation there.

M135 - 1 series 35
M350 - 3 series 50

It’s not a “35” in M350. Just as it is not a “34” in the current M340i.

Very specific question, but nonetheless maybe someone has some info on that. The new electric Mini is built on the platform of Great Wall (same as e.g. the Ora Funky/Good Cat), will the ECUs etc be from BMW? To be more specific, will the drivers assistance systems, i.e. Driving Assistant Professional be the same as UKL, like the U11, or will it use systems from Great Wall?

A/ U11 X1 is already being sold abou a year. No need to camo it.
B/ it's bigger than X1
C/ consistent with other X3 prototypes spotted and pictured in California

A) Many reasons why BMW wants to camo an already released car, nothing special about that
B) No, looking at the wheelbase, you can fit about 5,25 wheels between front and rear axle. Now, of course the picture is a bit warped, but assuming those are 20" that works out to 105" wheelbase. Hint: U11 wheelbase is 106", G01 wheelbase is 113" and G45 certainly even bigger.
C) No, just look at the hood length, rear lights, length of rear doors, rear overhang, relative position of rear axle to rear door, size of rear window etc. All consistent with U11 and not at all consistent with G45.

Also, you're probably refering to many of the (wrong) pictures in the G45 thread, but all of those show the X1 M35i.

It is the X1, because the U11 platform is FWD based.

The X3 G45 is a RWD based platform and as identified by many, that prototype you’re referring to is a FWD based platform which has the exact same grille and lights as the U11 X1.

Also, the X3 G45 prototypes have the rear plate on the bumper, and not on the tailgate.

I totally agree. This is a X1 and not a X3.

Since i live in Munich i still see a few cars with camo like the 7 series. And the 7 series has been released more than 8 months ago! This is no indication of X1 or X3.

Amazing how camo can affect visual perception! Well, that is its purpose. Lacking abilities to superpose an actual X1 shape to this camoed car, I would have bet money on it not being an X1. Man, I was wrong

4,000 pound plus M2. The M2 is rapidly getting past the original from 2015/2016.

Notable news regarding production times of the FAAR cars. Offers a clue about BMW's views on the future of downmarket gas powered models.

thanks for the updates!

So......the glorious days of old are back. Times when a car lasts at least 10/12 years
