Just one man’s experience here, but my i3S was the only trouble free BMW I’ve ever owned loved that little thing. Have seriously considered trading the G82 for an iX about a dozen times.

Wonder what happened with that m8 prototype with the red lamps… would be a nice final edition reveal…

Hypercar should not be EV, if I look at the rather poor success Porsche has with theirs today (Mission X?).

make a car with a V12, make 1000 of them, and world will not care but enthusiasys will buy all of them. heck, make anything that looks cool, but dont make it a statement about how green you are.. Crazy idea for the woke BMW management.

Not sure how big that reddit users dealership is but I would say only 1 in 15 BMW’s that come through our service department are electric, very low rate of failures.

And that’s saying a lot living in a environment such as Arizona, this heat eats away at BEV’s.

I concur. It does have a silhouette of a serious GT car and aesthetically it would make sensuous 8 Series. If the next M8 looked even remotely like this it would be really badass.

Personally, I would like to see a return of the 6 Series and be slotted under the 8 Series as a smaller, lighter, sexier, more intuitive GT car but with a lot more “sport” imbued within it’s chassis.

I had a G80 previously and now own an iX. Don't miss the M3 at all honestly. Traffic is so congested in Socal that the times I could use the real performance of any of my M cars I can count on one hand. Plus the iX has been incredibly reliable and just a great daily driver. Not a fan of the looks, but everything else is amazing.

Based on the rumors, you may be getting what you want, sort of. Supposedly, the 8 and 4 series are being discontinued at the end of production of the current models to be replaced by a 6 series with the M6 running a hybrid setup like the M5.

No 6 Series coming. Faith of 8 Series undecided yet. One model likely to survive: Gran Coupe. Definitely no M6 coming.

Sometimes rumors are just rumors

BMW version of the Spectre ?

Worse case scenario it would probably be R4 hybrid with a lot of power even better if they would make R6 hybrid like we have now and ofc V8 hybrid would be awesome but considering Van Meel was bragging about 1 Megawat power / 1360 ps and quad motor setup plus new " hand of god " computer .

We also officially know M is already testing the quad motor setup using i4 it's on YT and that thing they showed lately in spy shots old but modern american retro hatchback thing .

So it will probably be a full EV couple hundred ponies quad motor super car . I wonder if Polestar guy will design it because his hyper concept car is epic .

Honestly, there isn’t enough cheap battery electric vehicles for the masses

Beyond that I hope it’s something completely bad-ass. A performance hybrid would be fine with me as long as it’s a plug-in and not a serial hybrid

I’m all for a performance hybrid as long as it’s something extremely capable and not a half-baked attempt like the late i8
