Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

[manuelf]

Sure but which came first is not entirely the point

If we talk about this watering-down phrase... then for sure. The Audi S models can't be watered down RS models if they all existed long before their RS counterparts.

I'm not 100% sure, but wasn't it the opposite with Audi? I mean, they startet with the S models 1st as a clear step up from the regular models. Then later came the RS models as an even more extreme variant. F.I. the S2 came around 1990, while the RS2 showed up 3+ years later. So, there was no watering down approach in case of Audi?

I didn't mean to blame Audi. It was a very successful marketing move by them. The S4 was killing the 335i and later the 340i. BMW had to react.

That was my POV too.

Alpina's new 20-spoke wheel.

Alpina has always had some nice rims tbh. Glad to see they're continuing that tradition.

All good.
You did not come up with this "watering down" nonsense. We all agree, that the performance class of Audi S/BMW M Performance/AMG 35/43/... models seems to be a sweet spot for many customers. So this segment had to be filled. Any talk about "watering down" is just hilarious and I just brought up the Audi case to proof, that it is hilarious, as there "watering down" was technically impossible as all the lesser models were up 1st.

Pre LCI on 14 spoke wheels?

No.

 

[Jacke]

is this ai?

Nope, it’s AI. Wheels are real though.

 

[Swissbob]

No, just the wheel.

There are Alpina Stripes at the front of the car.

I have a hunch that what ALPINA brings to the table in the not too distant future (say, in two or three years) will be REALLY interesting. My hopes are very high for "The NEW" ALPINA.

No.

15 actually. I am a geek and counted

There are Alpina Stripes at the front of the car.

Right. No way AI can do that. And also no way people put stickers on cars if it's not AI.

I made AI to show rest of the teaser image, then put those wheels on a potential Alpina 7-Series.
It was done just to give an idea.

I hope a V12, fine beige leather (with dark green, blue threads), Mahagoni wood and golden stripes.

Like this, except in blue with golden stripes. And with a V12 instead of a V8.

What a lovely car, for me this was peak 7er especially as a pre LCI together with a E38.

 

[Uygar]

On the current X7.

 

[SCOTT27]

On the next X7.

Work your magic.
