Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

[Der Hofmeister]

From a tax perspective, an increase of 1000 cc in displacement will be rather harsh for end users in many countries. We are returning back to pre-2010 era (E60 525d vibes anyone?). The 520d should have remained a 2.0-liter alternative. Even though the B57 is a wonderful engine (as was M57, for example), I don’t think that 3-liter only diesel choices will look splendid from a sales perspective. Ok, I get that the margins will be higher for BMW, but the reasoning becomes very clear: make the diesels look rather unapealling for customers. Essentially, they are sacrificing the low-end diesel variant and going fully on electric choices for the 5 Series. Even the low-end, petrol-fed models are at risk.

Diesel sales are dying in some markets, perhaps they're simply consolidating around the engine design that has the longest future lifespan.

That’s why you can get big discounts on some BMW models, MB is in this regard really tight ( apart from the EQS and SL).

Crazy that it will have 4 motors , it's overkill ... they not playing around with this M3 EV.

It's not overkill. It's highly motorvated.

Overkill for the class of vehicle, would expect 4 motors for cars higher up, but obviously I'm not complaining.

The bar for performance EVs is high. Not only does it have to be faster than existing EV offerings but it need to be amazing enough for ICE buyers to at least consider it.

As manufacturers will always keep tabs on what competitors are cooking up, it is a safe bet that BMW engineers have been following the preliminary brouhaha surrounding the AMG.EA BEV architecture. And especially in terms of audio-tactile sensory synthesis that may prove to be a massive game-changer in the context of "performance" BEVs, BMW will be following this with very keen interest. Digging a bit deeper, it is the ICONIC 5 N that may have been the catalyst in getting this ball rolling.

I think BMW's innovation will be chassis control. One motor per wheel like the Rimac Nevera will allow it blister body control in and out of corners.

The M3 EV incorporates its own version of that

It’s conference week in Munich. Interesting conversation regarding BMW’s forthcoming more robust X vehicle. BMW of course do not have the heritage to be like Land Rover,Mercedes-Benz or Toyota for its more robust SUV outing. Nor the culture.

There is no history which allows BMW to offer something completely modern, recognisable as an X but without the tank-like military overtone's of its competitors. But be more design led. The car is expected to show as a concept to lay the foundations visually and for its intended purpose.

From what I can wean from the details something broad in scope like the much delayed “Scout” project from VW.
There wont be a BMW pick up.

Tough, large, high riding, huge wheels, visually BMW but with extra visual solidity, highly luxurious. And more premium than the G-Klasse sounds what they are aiming for.

Wasn’t this what the XM was supposed to be?

G wagon sells way more than that ugly duckling

G wagon sells way more than that ugly duckling

I was speaking generally and jokingly; the G-Class is currently untouchable in that area. We'll see if BMW can take a bite out of that particular rugged segment, since it beats it in all the others.

 

[Swissbob]

The XM is the worse M ever build apart from the interior.
