You have launched the M Performance line with diesels in Europe. [Only M Performance power packs have been confirmed for the U.S.] Will there also be gasoline-powered models, like the M135i concept?

Absolutely. And the real car will be virtually identical to the concept. It will be powered by the N55 engine, and you will be able to buy it with a manual or automatic transmission. We will also offer optional all-wheel drive. But there won’t be such a hatchback model in the U.S.

Will you have an M Performance 7-series to compete with the Audi S8 and the Mercedes S-class AMG?

We are considering it.

Cool.

Will it be named ///M750Li?

Sheesh just bring us an ///M7 and cock slap the S65 AMG already. Alpina does the job well but nobody can match the ///M Division.

If only BMW's cars looked as cool as their HQ does.

[redsky]

You are blind bro.
BMW wins design awards left and right. Their cars are some of the most gorgeous on the road today.

And please don't post a picture of the X6. It's sales alone prove you are wrong.

The looks of most cars are so subjective that it really isn't an argument. Winning awards for style depends on who is judging.

I'll just boil down this interview for you:

"will you continue to dilute the M brand?"
"yes, we will"

I agree, just build an M7.

I wonder if BMW would use the V12 or just put in a beefier V8.

[MOPAR74]

Id go with V12.

[REVolution]

I'd go with a tri-turbo V7. Thats right, I said V7.

[MOPAR74]

why not go with 7 turbos then

[Ix3understeer]

Guys, I've got it. A 7-turbo V3.

Germany has a long history making really powerful V3s.

...see what I did there?
