Damn, that's some driving, and the car seems pretty stable, much more so than I expected

Now only one request BMW;
LAGUNA SECA

Jimjamz is this what you'll be doing on streets of Sydney soon?

Corresponding figures.

Needsdecaf · 10-19-2023, 11:00 AM

Cup 2's.

also, why do all the pictures show a SPY car and the video shows a red one?

GOLFFRR · 10-19-2023, 11:12 AM

that's pretty sick

Forzanerazzurri · 10-19-2023, 11:21 AM

That's pretty disappointing. BMW is gonna sell like 5 of these and then everyone will complain when they kill it.

They've added shifts at the factory because it's selling so well. If they brought it to the states they would be in real trouble.

I stand corrected then. The market wasn't like this with the estates before.

There is over a year wait for production slot. I ordered mine pretty much ASAP and i had 10 month wait already... I'd say they can't make enough.

Dakar or Sao Paulo? Looks Dakar

Bahn360Photo · 10-19-2023, 08:41 PM

Even putting a wagon on the clock is impressive and then beating some heavy hitters is nuts!

Eng erring is amazing!

Now if we can have few thousand test cars In The US, you know to test the conditions in North America, that would be great 🤣

jummo · 10-19-2023, 09:52 PM

In addition to being really practical, wagons are also very stealth.
No one suspects the wagoner.
I would have absolutely gone touring were if offered here. Touring with 6mt?
Dream car, at least for me.

I’ve been living in the US now for 2 months and my car is locked away in the garage. I haven’t driven in 8 weeks (the longest driving gap since I started driving 30 years ago). Another 7 weeks before I’m back home. At this rate I’ll need to resit my learners.

Cup2 from the article...where are you seeing Cup2R?

That's a mighty impressive time for a large car like that.

Agreed. I had a P2 Volvo V70R (2004). If it had a manual, I probably would still own it, but it was my wife's car so Geartronic it was.

From factory it had 300 HP. I had a tune, DP and exhaust on it, and it was probably pushing 380-400. Had upgraded sways and it came with 4 piston Brembo calipers on all 4 corners...same exact part as used on the 993 Turbo. Porsche's "Big Red" brakes, just painted Gray.

That car would surprise the hell out of people the way it could hustle!

You are right. I saw it in the video and thought I saw an R, but I went back and looked and it does say Cup 2. My bad, will correct.

Its Sao Paulo. You def will need sun glasses if Living in Florida!

F80DK · 10-20-2023, 12:43 PM

Damn that Touring is so hot. And I knew it: 538 hp instead of 510. Sport Auto loves it - and confirms a CS Touring is in the works. Anybody know how the CS Saloon did it on the Ring?

7:29ish according to this video - based on that, I think a touring CS would be a ripper of a car to own

Please God, push BMW to bring it in Laguna Seca, pretty please
