This is cool and all but 2020? really? waiting that long? people will have moved on since then. How hard is it really to just put the s58 in there and slap in stiffer suspension? they should be offering their flagship cars when the base models are available. why offer a model now and then people have to wait 2 more years for something just to have dated technology and interior?
if you stretch the imagination some, you could include the 3gt and the 5gt (6gt) as well.

All those ripping on BMW for making all the X?s, just think about where they would be if they never made the X5 and X3. Think about all the R&D that went into them that was also used for other cars and the extra profits they generated to keep BMW innovative. Also remember the X3/X4 Ms will be a ?test? for the new M3/4 engine which means it will hopefully be more refined when it is used for those cars.
You could always buy a Merc, Audi, Porsche, Oh wait they are all doing this. |

Reasons for M cars to be released one year later - 1 - M takes time 2- development - it's a word used in racing - look it up ! 3 - a year delay allows any bugs in the base vehicle to be worked out - hopefully - so that they aren't introduced into the higher line and more expensive M cars 4- ever heard of an iPhone S model ? That's when Apple takes its regular model and soups it up with a little more performance so that the item stays fresher in the market place. Do you think M is any different. ? Same for LCI but in a much more reduced fashion |

Marketing is: (1) identification, selection and development of a product, (2) determination of its price, (3) selection of a distribution channel to reach the customer's place, and (4) development and implementation of a promotional strategy. Regardless. its just crazy that the interior wont change much and they will have to work to introduce new tech into the m variant just to have it obsoleted by the LCI refresh a year later.

I believe the same goes with the M5, it is being shown a year before its actually on sale. |

I will admit, I like the look out it. Of course it is a bit hard to tell exactly what it will look like with that Austin Powers psychedelic wrap but I think they are on the right track.

The 2020 X4 M has been spied on video for the first time, setting a great pace and sounding great on the Nurburgring.

This S58 engine has definite promise it seems. It sounds more like a beefed up B58 engine rather than an S55 engine. There's no raspiness like the S55 note has. I'm definitely looking forward to the M340i, X3M,X4M, and next gen M3 and M4. Although it still sucks the M340i will not get a manual, but at least the next M3 will have a manual. Also are the X3M and X4M getting AWD?
