PUMA has the gear
Was at the retail PUMA in LasVeegas store. Went crazy. But lucky I have son in law for an60% discount

Hopefully it's in my BMW R&D neighbor's driveway soon!

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at Garching!!

I really want van Meel's sweater!

Interesting. Could be cool. I do think BMW will make the best performing electric cars out of the competition.

Did you watch any of the video? In the first few minutes, he explains that they know what EV is capable of. We all know what EV is capable of now too. Some of it is practical and some impractical. We can embrace the practical and the fun while using ICE too.

I am reserving judgement until the day I get into one.

Kinda wish they had a 4-door m4 (gran coupe). Hatchback looks even better than the m3 imo.

hufington · 12-08-2024, 11:56 AM

German manufacturers do the R&D and pay for it for the Chinese and Korean manufacturers (and Elon) to copy paste.

BMW seems to be committed to an agenda they 'banked' on . . .

The path forward has already been proclaimed . . . 'drill baby drill'

///Avera

The path forward is ice, EV, and hybrid. You have no choice but to comply. The only stand you are taking is the one in your head.

This thread took exactly 5 replies to begin devolving.

What you write is a short term path for next ~10 years.

Past 2035 EVs will be the norm. All the smug gassers will either eat their shitposts or be dead.

In the meantime,

Interested to see how this plays out….

The incoming i4M will be that car

The M2 will replace the current M4

Frosty · 12-08-2024, 01:08 PM

I wonder why they are showing that M2 in so much of the promotion.....

I fantasize about a manual electric coupe... ( i'm ok if it's sandbagged to apply a 6MT )

sikotic · 12-08-2024, 01:14 PM

Please bmw, just make it faster than the competition..

Because it’s their development car

And because that car is that good

yousefnjr · 12-08-2024, 01:31 PM

Hell yeah buster

spademonkey · 12-08-2024, 01:45 PM

Really smart move for them to trickle out tiny bits of info in this type of way. Gets the clients more mentally ready for the future ///M products that they have to make, but will still of course be excellent to drive, albeit a different drivetrain than we're used to.

And showing the M2 was a masterstroke; to show confidence that that's one of their benchmarks for driving feel and balance of the BEV ///M in development. The 4 motors working in tandem sounds exciting for driving dynamics as well.
