x6 m1

The German car-magazine auto-motor-und-sport published an interview with Ludwig Willisch from the BMW Yard GmbH today. He tells us some really interesting things, although I am not sure if I similar all of them.

Willisch says that at that place volition be no M3-Touring (E91), because at that place is no market for it. He says the same thing apropos the E92 M3 CSL, the one-Serial and any kind of a supercar like the M1 Concept shown some months ago. The M GmbH expects nigh 70% of the M3s delivered worldwide to be ordered with the new dual-clutch-transmission, just in the U.Southward. they await but about 50% equipped with the Chiliad-DCT considering many US-buyers prefer the manual transmission.

Future BMW-M-Models might well be turbocharged, but they volition always offer higher rev-limits than normal BMWs. There are no plans for Diesel-cars from BMW M, but he does not say that Diesel-Ms are impossible. BMW M will offer ceramic brakes as option for some models in the near future.

There will not be an M-Version of the new F01 7-Serial but the Yard GmbH, also responsible for BMW Individual, is expecting college rates of Private-7ers. The One thousand GmbH is not sure if there will be an M-version of the adjacent-generation Z4 since at that place is a minor marketplace for these cars and they are not sure if an M-version could bring in the costs of development. Well, they said this for the current E85/E86-Z4 for very long time as well I think…

The BMW M-division is currently working on M-versions of the BMW X6 and X5. They are expecting sales figures in the expanse of the M5-models. Willisch also says indirectly that these cars volition feature a turbocharged V8-engine and, not a surprise, all-wheel-drive. He also assures the readers of the German mag that these cars will offer a dynamic performance. He misses to tell us how a machine that heavy complies with the thought of the 1000 GmbH who's "Yard" stood for "Motorsport" some time agone…
