Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

[mini_cooper4]

Soon after it's available.

The 18d hasn't been updated for ages... since like 2005 or 2006 I don't remember exactly.
If you know something you should share it with us! Now!!!!!!!!!!

@exl500
There are tiny chances that the 2GC will hit production.

 

[TheNewBATMAN]

Is the 2GC absent from the list because it's off the table or because it comes out after this timeline?

Second this.

Oh God, don't tell me it does not exist !!!

I don't care for 6er GC (too sedanish. Get a 5er for a steal instead) or the 4er GC (too expensive over a 3er, coupe is more desirable), but the thought of a 2 er GC !!! Oh I can already see it, best looking Bimmer ever !!!

1er Sedan/2er GC is most probably coming with the next gen. FWD UKL based 1er/2er

So, what will the differences be between B48B20 and N20B20? Do you have any idea?

The B48B20 is one of the member of the new family of modular engine with the new 3 cylinder and upcoming 6 cylinder (B58), I guess it will probably replace the N20 later. It seems North Amerca market don't get N20 engine but one variant called N26, so the B36 and B46 might be version of B38 and B48 for NA market.

What we can expect this year (from Scott found elsewhere) :
- January 2014 - NAIAS : M3/M4 - 2-series World Premiere
- March 2014 - Geneva : 4-series GC and 2-series Active Tourer World Premiere
- April 2014 - NYIAS/Leipzig : X3 FL/X4 World Premiere + introduction of another European model (?)
- April 2014 - Bejing : new concept car (X7 ?)
- May 2014 - Villa d'Este : Design study
- Angust 2014 - Moscow : X6 World Premiere
- September 2014 - Paris : 2-series convertible + two new M models (X5 M and M3 convertible or X5M/X6M ?)

Also, BMW and Toyota have agreed to develop a joint platform for sportscars :

(Reuters) - Carmakers BMW (BMWG.DE) and Toyota (7203.T) have agreed to develop a joint platform for sportscars, BMW's development chief Herbert Diess told a German newspaper.

"We have agreed on a joint architecture for a sports car. What is important is that there will be two different vehicles that are authentic to the two brands," Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Monday quoted Diess as saying.

BMW and Toyota had in January signed an agreement to cooperate on various areas including lithium-air batteries and lightweight technology.

They also said at the time they would study the potential for a joint platform for a mid-sized sports vehicle in a feasibility study to be completed by the end of 2013.

Frankfurter Allgemeine said that Diess declined to provide details on the models that would result from the cooperation.

[SCOTT27]

That's the Autobild what if ? series. When they take classic cars and put them in a what if? Progressive scenario.

This is more apt for the all-new Z1.

 

[bimmerjph]

Scott as long as the Z1 is FWD I promise you no one on this forum cares about it (unless BMW gives it the drop down doors of the old Z1, which is unfortunately unlikely). Lets hear more about this RWD Z3...

 

[braaf]

Ooo me like this.
