  1. The R&D cost is getting higher than the premium that can be tacked onto the M cars.  A lot of this can be blamed on certifications and such that are required of the car companies.  A limited special engine has to meet all the same criteria as the ho-him mass production lump.  It also counts for the same amount in the Fuel economy average, regardless of production numbers.

     

    The world governments are killing the M Cars.

     

    That being said, BMW does have room in it's line up for a legitimate exotic super car.....I think the M1 could still be a reality.

    If world government is killing the M cars. Why is AMG just getting better and better? It's all about cost effectiveness to produce.

  2. Hey everyone! This is our First Cars & Coffee meet so let's do this right!!

    Don't be late!

    ***PLEASE do NOT litter***

    Remember to throw cups in trash cans!

    See you guys there!

  3. Sounds like this would probably kill off any M1 successor too which is sad. Its cool they are putting out a lot more M Performance parts but that might be the only future of the entire M division :(  

     

    i had a feeling about this... looking back just a few weeks ago at M performance parts.. tunes, exhaust, suspension and now even LSD as a option coming soon!! (finally) future of M3 will be lego'd together.. 

  4. I think I the newest BMW I would buy is an e39.  I do not want one that has stuff that only the dealer has access to.

    Well. E46s would be the case then? Maybe e90/e92

    I did diy on EVERYTHING on my last e92 335i. Got the parts at local shop.

    Most likely f10 or f30 chassis are new enough where you have to go to dealer from parts.

  5. Part of speech from big head at M division:

    "Lastly, we can stop expecting bespoke engines from the M division in the future. Though they will still have standalone engines, the future of M models will be built on BMW AG engines, though they will be tuned for more performance, catering to the M customers. But we’ll no longer be seeing special engines built specifically for M models."

    ...... Sad :(

    But, not surprising. Happened in the past to M cars. Upgraded versions of current motors.

  6. What's the reasoning for staying away from downtown?  Sunday morning everything is pretty dead on Lincoln Drive.

    Well yeah maybe for cars and coffee meet / earlier meets your right. But if we have a weekly meet as in later on in the day I think places

    Out of downtown would be better... Doesn't matter anyways it's what everyone wants!

  7. This has been something I've wanted to do for a while but haven't gotten around to planning! I'd love to do this.

    Great! I'm gonna start this then! Lol

    Cars and coffee at Alterra *ahem* Collectivo on the lake Sunday morning I say.

      

    Stay away from downtown. Plus that place has the worse parking! Starbucks/KOPPS lot on 76th?!?

    like 1 in the pm I hope.

      

    6am

    Would love to see a weekly get together!!

    I'm pushing for a first mEAt at kopps on 76th.
