1) The schedule posted by Scott26 is pretty much spot on.

2) Prices confirmed at £48,954 for the SMG model and £47,250 for the manual (base prices). The final inclusive spec (for the UK at least) is to be confirmed, but the latest document includes;

SatNav
Bolster seats
PDC
Flappy Mirrors

the most interesting feature.....a new M gizmo system called M Dynamics, a new combined Suspension, Traction and Braking system.

3) The "flappy" folding mirrors will have a two post attachment like the E36 but BMW know about criminals stealing the mirrors, so this time there will be a secret anti-theft device.

4) The fax that was sent to dealers shouldn't have been sent until May/June.
OMG, that's great info!!
what a leak...
The fact that a manual transmission is offered made my day!!
But I don't fully understand the M dynamic feature; I thought that's the same system as in the M5 where power, damper and DSC settings are configured. But the incorporation of the braking system is new to me.

Do you have any further information on the "M dynamics"?

Best regards, south
