I would be very surprised!
It's a fair point - though they could leverage the R&D from the 8 series.
Personally I agree with you by the way, it's a very good point. Depends how good your BMW modern history is.

Do we all recall the HUGE fanfare that came with Carbon Core on the 7. Was that 5 years ago now?

I was really expecting the tech to filter down very quickly and am amazed it's barely mentioned now.

Sadly instead of lighter we are also getting heavier. Not 100% on BMW that due to safety regs but still sub optimal.
