I still don't understand how they started production early November but market launch is not until March!

Based on the fact we are getting lease rates and us dealers have confirmed prod dates starting in dec (maybe others have seen earlier) bmw expects cars on the ground sooner rather than later |

Cool video!
My local dealership's HEA allocations were sold. They had two cars with Dec production dates and another car with a Jan production date. |

Great video! I look forward to reviews, release and feedback. Putting the grilles aside what is the rear herniation of the car around exhaust all about?

I saw/sat in the M3 Competition yesterday. Grille better in real life. Seats felt great. Paint is pretty spectacular.

I had no idea they were building the G80 in Munich. Recall that the F80 was built in Regensburg with the F33 and F83. I had presumed that the tight coupling between the M3 and M4 was due at least partly to this shared assembly plant. But they are building it with the 3 Series now (as you would naturally assume would make the most sense).
Furthermore, the 4 Series Coupe and M4 Coupe have also moved from Munich to Dingolfing while the 4 Series Convertible has moved from Regensburg to Dingolfing. I wonder if the M4 Convertible will also be built there or if it will stay in Regensburg. Some of this reshuffling could be related to the pandemic. But certainly there is obvious logic in building the 3 Series and M3 together as well as the 4 Series and M4 together. Maybe for next generation the M3 will finally be allowed to launch within twelve months of the 3 Series rather than waiting over two years to launch with the M4. Or maybe not. |

Who knew that the 5 series wagon would be the best looker of the bunch?!

Based on what I have read so far, seems most of the G80/G82 on the road will be in IOMG

Rumor has it that the technicians have been using their masks to cover their eyes when working on the front of the new M3/4.

Highly doubt the market launch for the M3 would ever launch after the series production is released. The M3/M4 development is joined at the hip, as BMW AG needs to wait for the outgoing M4 EOP, then release the series production 4, then coupled M3/M4. Just like the X3M/X4M and X5M/X6M are always released jointly after the respective X4/X6.

The music is awful, this video is geared for 1980's MTV.

The X products feature a slightly different production model since the even and odd numbered models share an LCI. |
