BMW Returns to 2017 British Touring Car Championship, After 21 Years Absence

M3 Number 86 · 02-25-2017, 10:29 AM

Are those rear tail lights stock?

phoenx · 02-25-2017, 10:37 AM

Wish we got the 1 series hatch in the US!

omasou · 02-25-2017, 01:15 PM

I would prefer this as a choice in the US over the X1

i'd prefer an M2 hatch but somehow BMWNA misses how many Golf/GTI sales there are in the USA and doesn't want a piece of that market.

Absolutely agree. A 1 or 2 series hatch with power & tuneable would sell here.

It will be pretty interesting to follow. 😎

I believe they are Team Dynamics.. as in the sponsors of Honda Racing... but I could be wrong.

I do miss the 1 series w/ 4 doors in the US.
It still has all specs I want (RWD, 6MT, 6 cylinders), with the practicality of a hatchback (big rear door and 4 doors).

Just awesome.

If they at least launch a 4 door 2 series with the same basics, I'd be fairly happy already

raysspl · 02-28-2017, 02:33 PM

Took awhile but good to see them make their way back

About time BMW! This kind of racing only help you make better real world cars.

Now BMW just has to get a xDrive version of this car into WRC Rally Car Racing.

I thought a 2er GC was planned for production?
