ynguldyn, I'm currently driving F30 340i with 355hp (MPPSK) Is it unreasonable to expect 380+ hp for the G20 M340i?

What about the X1... will it get a M35i model with the 300 hp B48 engine?

Is it a mechanically revised B48 or just tuning to the existing motor?
It's about time the 330 was 300hp/280 or 290lbft - it should have always been that in the first place. What do we think the chances are to be able to retrofit the current B48 to updated spec? Probably zilch....

1/2 - CLAR M35i, UKL M40i (special case for the coupe/convertible) 3/4 - M40i 5/6 - M50i 7/8 - M60i To me that would be consistent. No N74-powered 8 Series? That just means there's no M Performance model. No S63-powered 7 Series? So, no M model. Still hoping that they call the N63-powered G05 X5 the M50i instead of the 50i. I should add, if/when the V12 is nixed from the 7, and they make the N63-powered 750i the M750i, that would at least clean things up. But I am not anticipating that to happen this generation, or even next. The V12 will survive as long as those who buy it keep demanding it; and I expect they will until the bitter end. That all being said, I recall that Audi has already confirmed that this is the last generation for their A8 W12 (article here http://europe.autonews.com/article/2...ng-big-engines, not quite confirmation, but the intention is there anyway). |

As for the absence of N74 in G15, I guess they figured 500hp is enough for a smaller and lighter car. Quote:

Carbon fiber roof as optional is confirmed for M Sport models?

Any word on the possibility of a future M8CS/CSL using the N74? I mentioned in another thread the weight increase over the S63 is only slight.

http://autoweek.com/article/car-revi...n=awdailydrive When reviewers are musing whether the M sport model is as good as or a better value overall than the M model.. that shows that your wide open three just became a Lonzo Ball airball. The simple fact is that the M sport packages and M sport models are actually an application of *more* M throughout the lineup. Anyone that wants the BMW M division to do LESS WORK is a straight playa hater.. |
