Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

[Tuffode]

I’m planning on making my own 333i soon. Already got the engine out on my red E30 just looking for an M30 + trans to put in.

Looks like the X4, 8-series and Z4 will be cancelled.

The X4 and 8 GC are rumored to return later as EVs, it's more of a hiatus

The X4 iCE is not on the planning map. 8 GC might, but not approved

8 GC might, but not approved

I'm suspecting that BMW AG will not permit the likes of the AMG.EA 4 door GT, Polestar 5 and future VAG J1 successors to go unchallenged. Perhaps with a "reply" courtesy of the ALPINA subsidiary ?

They will because of the lack of success of these cars, they’re all DOA.

I expect sales numbers of less than 2k/yr.

They've let the R8(now dead) and AMG GT go unchallenged, so wouldn't be surprised if they don't do anything.

But considering this is a 4-door segment, as opposed to 2-door """"dedicated"""" sports cars which BMW for some reason is allergic to, I'm sure they'll end up greenlighting something.
