Latest BMW Trademark Filings

[Zafiro]

I talked to a 550i owner like a month ago and the funny part is that his dealer told him that next generation 550i is going to be renamed to 555i.
And I talked to this guy before Eni posted this new trademarks.

Maybe his dealer is on something here.

I am sure the 555 will be TT V8. It better have xDrive.

^ Maybe an upgraded version of that engine, because I think that, like the F01 7er, the 550i will be the 414 bhp 4.4 V8 TT.
Otherwise the 750i would have to be 755i (but you never know these days).....

 

[EnI]

EfficientDynamics symbol has been filed for official registration ... although BMW have been using it already for marketing purposes.

After Yokohama also gave BMW permission to register eDrive trademark, I expect this one will be registered in the next weeks as well.




Btw, another mysterious trademark has been filed for registration by BMW AG ... it's called CLIFTON ... I have absolutely no idea what that is. It's slotted in the class 012 (Automobiles).

Great, now go and check F13 thread, we need some answers!

 

[warot]

SDrive is going to be slick

 

[EnI]

SDrive is going to be slick

sDrive23i
sDrive23d
sDrive28i
sDrive35i

Z4 ...

 

[Zafiro]

sDrive = slow drive ?

 

[warot]

maybe RR Suv ?

 

[EMpower]

What exactly does sDrive stands for? superDrive? $exDrive?

I'm guessing sport(s)drive.

 

[EnI]

maybe RR Suv ?

What about a sporty Rolls-Royce cabrio coupe ... more likely.

Rolls-Royce Clifton

Hm......

 

[EnI]

OK, now we know Clifton, Camden etc are the special editions MINI.
Some more mysterious BMW trademarks registrations:

TVDI

Some sort of Direct Injection tech? Like HPI (High Precision Injection)? Or perhaps Turbocharging Valvetronic Direct Injection ... like in N55 engine?

Go4
All4

Is this a label for MINI crossover? Or MINI's name for AWD system (analog to xDrive, quattro, 4-matic, 4-motion etc)?


Y1
Y2

After already owning Y3, Y4, Y5 & Y6 trademarks, BMW also filed for Y1 & Y2 trademarks lately. What for? What is the mysterious Y-series? Especially now when PAS / PAC etc cars are named GT.

 

[Mr Robert]

Y, oh, Y...

There is no Y7, so, no "Y" version of the 7-series. That rules out the possibility of the use of the Y-shape to signal two sources of power leading to one output.

Clifton is a special MINI edition ?
is it version of RR?

Indeed...

 

[Mr Robert]

Indeed...

It would have been great humor

...or this one:

File that!
