Rumors BMW 9-Series coming in 2020

[maragulon]

I am possible you will. As they announced it can be offered in three levels of power from entry to high performance.
They did not develop Power eDrive just for the headlines but to offer an alternative should everything reach a point of no return.

x30e < x40e < x50e?

I can imagine the high performance level x50e will be reserved for cars like 7- and 9-Series, X7 for example.
A 550e would also be very nice.
But I don't reckon with that.

Scott said something about 550e earlier. It will be maybe M550e

Yes we will see the first M Performance PHEV using the Power eDrive philosophy but still way under the M5 in power delivery and performance.

So in a way, the M5 will be holding back the potential of the PHEV cars.

With an attitude like that from an 'Executive' it's no wonder the attitude of the BMW creative marketing team is very questionable at times.

Agreed, although "team" is a generous way of putting it.

It'll only need to count down until 2019 upon which everything will be cancelled.

By that time WW3 has started, probably.

M Performance model (so not an iPerformance existing model)
Power eDrive
.. yet "way under" the M5 in power delivery and performance.

The fact you say way under makes me think it's the UKL models... perhaps the X1 or maybe even the F52? Maybe it'll be how they preview the X2?

the winds that are blowing whisper of it... no doubt..

maybe they can start making aeroplanes again then

They are now testing drivetrains and mechanicals under existing Rolls-Royce Ghost's and 7ers.

Confirmed today.

Second: products. We will be expanding our product portfolio in all brands and all segments, including:

• Market leadership for BMW in the upper segments.
• Expansion of the BMW M programme.
• Expansion of the BMW i family.

Our large models strengthen the premium positioning of the BMW brand. We will be introducing an additional BMW model in the luxury class. There will also be a strong new addition to the successful BMW X line-up in 2018, with the X7. Rolls-Royce is also planning a new model with the project name Cullinan. High demand and profitability converge at BMW M, where sales have almost quadrupled since 2010. Now, we will continue to expand BMW M, with new M and M Performance models, including the M2 Coupé, which came out in April. The new M4 GTS was released in a limited edition.
