well it's pretty pointless to discuss it now since no one really knows but...
1. since this came from a dealer, even if it's true im going to call BS. and if she's right im going to say she accidentally got the info right
2. i dont expect BMW to watch RS5 and C AMG (whatever the new number will be) take over the market and just watch. BMW may have done a power change mid cycle to an M car before, they may have been satisfied with E46 power so they kept it, but when it comes to a changing market there's no fixed rules. they have to react to the market and gain those dollars back.
I hear a lot of people saying BMW doesnt bump power or change engine mid cycle, which to me is ridiculous, because this is a business, it's not a culture.
let
us
wait
and
see
P.S. Thank God for leasing
