Anyone that thinks there's a chance in hell that this muffler, exactly as you see it here won't make it to production has not been paying attention. I'll give you a prediction, it'll make it to production, it'll be just as fugly and there's nothing from now until the cars debut that will change that.

But the G80 would most likely have it at the same place as the G20. Most or all of the early M340i test mules and PR photos did not have an ACC sensor either, so there was also some discussion whether the M340i might not have the option. [1] BMW is now putting two different ACC sensors into cars, a short-range until 160 km/h and a longe-range (part of the Driving Assistant Professional) until 210 km/h - the Z4 only has the former though. |

How do they come up with 500hp? Water injection as in the Gts?... or is the new motorization that much more efficient and/or capable of handling more boost.
Sorry if it has been answered in a prior post. |

Alfa's 2.9 V6 has 505hp. With twin turbos, it's not whether they can get 500hp, it's how reliable they can make it at 500hp.

What about milk for his cookie ? Does that come from the ass udder, or the main example of new ///M language ?
Can’t wait to see you try and spin this one. Perhaps it will somehow relate back to the awesome 2 series minivan...

Yep that's it. It isn't relevant for braking performance but looks really ugly

Is this gonna have the same face as the new 4 Series/M4? If that's the case I expect it to look quite different, the grille could be longer, narrower and vertical as opposed to wide and horizontal and the headlights to also be narrower and quite different in general.

I definitely think the muffler is here to stay. It looks about the same as the M2C.. even the F80 muffler hangs low; the E9x M3, too to some extent.
Unless BMW incorporates some sort of Varis-like undertray, there's nothing really they can do to hide the muffler well, if indeed it'll hang that low. It's not a deal-breaker by any means... hoping the Pure is good, comes to fruition (and comes in Silverstone or HS ) as I might need to get back into a sedan in the coming years.

What's so funny? Difference is now BMW has been hearing for a bit now about the muffler and seeing the way they changed the new G series should tell you something.
