what kind of car would you like bmw to build in the future?

keanu1 · 11-02-2010, 07:13 PM

i'm thinking of a bmw van!!! I think we will soon see some concept from bmw!!it's the next step!!

ZJP · 11-02-2010, 08:01 PM

a supercar that can rival the R8, LP640, 458, SLR, etc.

Probably won't happen though.

Notion-Za · 11-03-2010, 03:23 AM

a 335 with no hpfp problems

MarkR171 · 11-03-2010, 03:58 AM

Now that they're building a 1 Series M, I would like to see a 1M CSL with the next gen 1 series.

Emphasis on lightweight (3100lbs at most), turbo 6 cylinder power, DCT, fitment for 285 wide front and rear tires with no modification, track worthy suspension, priced at around 50-55k. I bet that car would sell like crazy, but it will never happen as it will cannibalize M3 sales.

Or even more lightweight using a turbo 4 and no rear seats to get down into the sub-3000 lbs range.

stop making cars

I'm all for that, as long as the turbo 4 is torquey and feels like the N55.

I wish they offered four-wheel-drive across the diesel powered models as well. Something like "335d X-drive, 535d X-drive and 740d X-drive".

An M5 F11 and a lightweight S65 powered Z4 coupé.

But above all else, I wish they weren't so mean; a 550i M-sport costs £53k and it doesn't even come with split-folding rear seats!

It's a £370 optional extra and that brings me to another problem: The optionals are ridiculously overpriced. £370 for split-folding rear seats, £260 for anthracite headlining, £285 for the shadowline exterior trim, £420 for powered boot operation. 370 quid for split-folding rear seats... Come on BMW... That's overpriced even for Lord Alan Sugar standards!

m_thompson · 11-04-2010, 08:36 AM

An M-sport X-Drive 123d with a 6MT for the US market.

ejheverest · 11-22-2010, 01:40 PM

M-Sport 335D X drive Touring w/ 6 speed manual that averages >48-50 mpg.

Silver-Bolt · 11-22-2010, 02:34 PM

I would be much happier if in the U.S. we could order options individually rather than lumped together in a package.

But if we are dreaming a sub-2500lb two-seater with a n54/n55 power plant.

graider · 11-22-2010, 03:32 PM

gt3 rs fighter and offer 1-2 thousands in the US and a few hundreds for canada. also a halo car in the 500k price to compete with enzo, etc.....

if nissan can go toe to toe with porsche, then it's time for bmw to step up the plate.

ragingclue · 11-22-2010, 04:27 PM

An E36 M3 with an LSX.

bobblehead · 11-22-2010, 04:32 PM

A super sports car to compete with Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, MB, etc.

If not, then focus on building a 1000 hp M5 that will do 0-60 in 2.0 sec (if that's even possible ??)

MisterSkiMask · 11-22-2010, 05:03 PM

Less weight, less computer/electric motor junk between the driver and the road. These cars are turning into the ultimate driving simulators.

blacknbean · 11-22-2010, 06:06 PM

light weight, good looking 1 series

hks786 · 11-22-2010, 08:27 PM

Why lie about it, I want to see BMW make a supercar.

+1 I'd love to see BMW make something like the Mercedes R Class. BMW doesn't make anything which you can fit 3 carseats across the back seat.

ENINTY · 11-26-2010, 07:22 AM

Pickup truck, something akin to the Honda Ridgeline. X6/X5 looks like the perfect platform for it.
