10K LBS!

10K LBS!

And in normal weight that's 4500 kg.

Not too shabby. The Beast is twice as heavy though, so I am thoroughly disappointed. An oligarch in the Donbas wouldn't quite be safe LOL (yeah that's a joke!)

I didn't know where to post it, if we think about what could come from Alpina, it is important to know what could have changed history.

Also seeing a model as secret as this that no one knew about it from the inside is valid in any thread, the Sony screens are lovely

So that’s it. The Wolfgang Reitzle proposals for the prosperity and upmarket assault of the BMW brand in the nineties. Pre-Bangle.

The 850i Cabrio, M8 and the 9er proposal Goldfish 2.
Although eventually we would see some resurrection of these shelved projects.

The genetics of the Goldfish 2 can be found in the clean piece of paper that conceived the E65 which looked like nothing that came before it. and even in todays 7,i7.

That's pretty normal for a Oligarchmobile.
How heavy are the W223 S680 Guards?

Well 4 out of 4 that he couldn't do, he lacked conviction or he analyzed it too much at the end....

Like which? I don't see anything similar in the new M8 against a 550kp V12 in the 90s with carbon fiber wheels, when no one knew what that was, doing something similar 30 years later is just another project.

Maybe, there is something something about the i7...
But I see nothing that foreshadowed the E65, rather it had its own concept that we already saw with its "first" vertical grilles.

That's pretty normal for a Oligarchmobile.

The word oligarch sounds so bad here, it is the term the left uses to refer to anyone who has a job.

*In countries like Mexico or Brazil the X1 is officially armored by BMW in the factory, a matter of social environment and no oligarchy there.

I'm not going to lie, I also use the word more out of envy than anything else.

What a strange thing to say...
It's just a joke about how most of the clientele for this car are either heads of state or oligarchs or billionaires.

Spoiler

Oligarchs don't actually do much work these days, they just own/inherited a lot of valuable assets.
And I can tell you most people do in fact have jobs (including people on the left)and almost none of those people can afford an S680 Guard or Bulletproof 7er. Heck most hardworking people can't afford a base 7er or S class - I count myself amongst these many hardworking people.

Mine is also in a joking tone, a sample of our differences in expression and vision.

Whether or not these cars would have been a production reality. There was one huge obstacle. The Financial Crash of the late eighties, early nineties.

There is one constant you cannot deny. And that is the scale of Reitzle’s ambitions. From V16 BMW’s to V12 Range Rover’s. There were strategies for a product in every segment.

There was always the investigation of exploring unknown segments. And identifying if that niche is suitable for the brand such as the best selling X5 which he still gets royalties for.

I don't know, there is always a crisis when BMW is thinking about something spectacular......the history of the M1 which was chaos from the beginning and knowing that they would go to a loss they did it anyway, the icons cost more than money, the ghost of the 507, I understand it in the 50's, but in the 90's?

Difference between ambition and realization, this ambition was stored in a hangar until yesterday and no one misses it, I still have the ambition to go to Disney.
Maybe his strategy was to still aim for V16 so that the V12 would be approved, who knows

the best selling X5 which he still gets royalties for.

I didn't know that the CEO's carried royalties of the models released during their mandates and in perpetuity, is that a discovery for me, only from the first X5 or from all of them for the segment created?

I gather warning people to look away? How considerate.

Probably tear through a millionth year old Fiat Punto like tissue paper. #ProtectThePunto.

Another rave review for the S63. No issues of ride complaints.

Too bad the grille makes it look like a cheap E class.

Just horrible.
