David; BMW is one of my clients, as well as Mercedes-Benz ( right across the road from eachother )I spend most day's at BMW. My other client is Dow-Jones & The Wall Street Journal. I hope everyone will try out the new WSJ.com online newspaper that took 16 months of my life from me. It is truly a great site, and you can get a 30 day free trial. | ||

David I think Adam has an inside track at BMW. I think he does consulting for them | ||

I'm glad to hear they are bringing the M6 back. The old one is one of my favorite cars. | ||

I see the new jag has 20 inch rims? | ||

The new 760Li is also going to be a nice mover with 408 hp an 442 lbs-ft. Not too bad.... Also, anyone who has placed their order for a new M3, BMW NA just released for the US market 19" rims vs the 18". just an FYI | ||

Somehow I am a little skeptical that BMW will provide a 575 hp car to the U.S. My bet would be we get a detuned iteration ,at least for openers. | ||

Now for the bad news, all that engineering will be clothed in one of the ugliest European car designs in history. The new 6-series will look like a "mini-me" of the new 7-series, an offensively ugly design by BMW's new designer Chris Bangle.  | ||

Frank what decade are you living in?-- I assume that's 2004 as a 2005 model. | ||

I spoke with a friend of mine who works for BMWNA yesterday. He said the new BMW M6 is a go and should be at your local BMW store in 2004 as a 2005 model. It will have a detuned version of the WilliamsBMW F1 V-10 with 575 horsepower. It will have NO camshafts. The valves will be actuated by electro-hydro cylinders. 0-60mph times expected to be in the high 3 second range. This will be a five passenger coupe. I want one as my dailey driver ! |
