Description: BMW has great plans for the M Division if clues that Friedrich Nitschke, the Division's President, spread in an interview with Car and Driver are to be realized. When asked about a rival to a Me...Add Comments16
Taylor GreenfieldApr 23, 2012 Theres something called the BMW 760 Li you know? Its got a 6.0 Twin Turbo V12 with 537 HP and 750 NM of torque. Its the perfect rival for the S63 and S8...
Stephen Reed Warren IIApr 21, 2012 To rival the S65 they need something close or over 600hp. The B7 won't cut it
Hamza HamidApr 20, 2012 I smell a revival of the M1.. Possibly mid engined? It could also rival the SLS.
Domi BsaibesApr 20, 2012 They do need to compete with the sls amg don't they?
Brandon LidyApr 20, 2012 They'll probably use a similar, of not the same engine. Just tune it a bit differently, throw on some wheels and an aero kit of sorts, oh and suspension and tranny upgrade. The 7 series is a beast as it is
Paul LissonaApr 20, 2012 I've regretted getting rid of any BMW we sold haha.
Michael KozlowskiApr 20, 2012 I guess the twin turbo v12 in the 760Li just doesn't cut it these days for BMW or what lol
Matthew ReindorpApr 20, 2012 I want a mid engined supercar from BMW!! the M division have made some incredible cars! Our M5 was the one car we regretted selling!
Michael Anthony NascimentoApr 20, 2012 They don't need the M7. You're forgetting about the B7. Which still rivals the S8 and S63 AMG
Aislin CooperApr 20, 2012 I've been wondering if they'd make an M7 and I hope they make a mid-engined supercar
Tomas FranquelliApr 20, 2012 Beast! Both the M7 and mid-engine sound like amazing ideas for BMW.
Thibault LeroyApr 20, 2012 a mid engined BMW would be great!
Description: So if these to options are really on the table, neither of which was categorically denied, then Herr Nitschke is going to have a lot of work on his hands at the top end of the market. He also referred...Add Comments7
Patrick JosephApr 21, 2012 Good drivers shouldn't have to be penalized for bad drivers mistakes. This is utter non sense. It's an M car. Not a vulgar 116 diesel. Manual should be standard if not the only transmission offered. I'm pissed off they take us for imbeciles.
Patrick JosephApr 21, 2012 When you access the car data you can tell what's happened. If he was driving at 90mph and all of a sudden the revs went through the roof you can tell he's downshifted carelessly. From say 6th to 3rd.
Patrick JosephApr 21, 2012 If the guy isn't comfortable with a manual transmission he can get an automatic one. Plus if it's the drivers fault he's gonna pay for it. So what's the big deal. It's easy for a dealership to know who's fault it was
Clint EdwardsApr 20, 2012 Pretty sure you can trash the trans with ANY engine if you don't know what you're doing.
Carlton SalmonApr 20, 2012 I agree, they should at least offer the manual as an option.
Jason BrowerApr 20, 2012 I agree, that's no excuse for not having a manual transmission. Come on M.
Dan RuthApr 20, 2012 Oh come on, there are lots of cars that push 500-600 hp and still have manual transmissions.
Description: And in America there are still a few customers loyal to the old technology, whom complain about the lack of a manual gearbox option. He also said that there will be no M versions for BMW's all el...Add Comments3
Patrick JosephApr 21, 2012 I couldn't care less. Make it fast. But don't make it an M car.
Brandon LidyApr 20, 2012 An Mi8 could potentially be very quick
Aislin CooperApr 20, 2012 Thank god that there won't be M versions of the i3 and i8. That would be sacrilege
Yeah we know - but it doesn't touch the S65
Theres something called the BMW 760 Li you know? Its got a 6.0 Twin Turbo V12 with 537 HP and 750 NM of torque. Its the perfect rival for the S63 and S8...
New 8 series anyone?
Yeah the S65 has 621hp and 738lb/ft i think
Do it BMW, do it!
To rival the S65 they need something close or over 600hp. The B7 won't cut it
