Scott please tell me that the M3 will not get body colored rear diffusers. Tell me that was some preproduction stuff.

No doubt that if the two do end up coming together, you’ll find some new rationale to explain why they must have had to hold back the M3 again. Something - anything - other than the possibility that despite appearances to the casual outside observer, it genuinely does make the best business case to launch it together with the M4. We’ll just agree to disagree. |

For me though my reasoning make sense for the F8X, X5M scenario and the G80. It would also make sense for BMW to align the M3 and M4 to the stacked launch of the 3 series and 4 series to limit the time keeping a model out of the market and this time seems a natural opportunity. With the M boss being on record saying 2021 you have the odds with you I don’t deny that. It still wouldn’t make business sense to me |

I’m really excited about the M4 but Scott26 is hinting about an i4 launch the coming spring and I’ll take a serious look at it. I’ve yet to drive an EV since I’ve waited for a car from Porsche or BMW(not i3). The P-car is too pricey but the i4 should be better positioned. I’ll try to go about it open minded but the thought of no shifts and no noise is difficult.

One thing that I've learned over the years is that, when something that doesn't make sense to me keeps occurring, it probably means that my understanding of the situation is incomplete. Sometimes, in cases like that, I am able to keep digging deeper and eventually gain critical knowledge that makes the picture become clear. Other times, there is simply no more information available and I just have to accept it and move on. That later step can be difficult because human nature is to seek confirmation bias. However, the reward for pushing past that instinct is enlightenment and a greater appreciation for the world around us. Cheers |

As I have mention before every new model BMW has 2 seasons (summer/winter) of testing prior to market release. The G80 arrived late March 2019 to the Arjeplog Winter Test Center and has this winter 2020 for an other round of winter testing.
Pre-production models are used for government testing certification in each country, such as the US DOT, EPA, ect. The pre-production = production model, just all the pre-production models (in the 100's are salvaged after testing). For the example, the F90 worlds longest drift was a pre-production M5, as after filming at the SC PC, it went to the CES show and then the salvage yard. Finally, part suppliers and their suppliers need time to ramp up production of OEM parts. If you all recall there was a huge time gap from the X7 pre-production photos to market release and as SCOTT26 has mentioned the press will the drive camouflage G80's, as the M8 gap was around 8 months between press drives to market launch. Ya all have PATIENCE.
