M7 Coming. What Do YOU think?
I just read this on Auto Spies: (www.Autospies.com)
M7
"The front end on the confirmed production m7 will have an electronic retracting spoiler system -in carbon fiber - this system will allow the m7 to reach excess speeds of 180 with a still firm luxurious ride – there will also be a new rear differential system where the there is a secondary transmission giving the rear of the car different ratios as needed - the transmission will be a newly exotic yet unconfirmed technology- the engine will be bored v12 of 7.2 liters with 710 hp minimum - vanos generation 3 will show up -the car will also use a less aggressive electronic suspension control system - in favor of even more extensive mechanics including additional control arms with beefy aluminum components hand forged and even hollowed where viable - the brakes will feature 6 - 8 piston calipers in front and probably quad in back - the car looks very low - so low that some of the side skirts were actually shaved according to rumor - AND perhaps quite humorous is the fully redesigned rear end of this car. It looks unlike the rest of the 7 series lineup instead using a very elegant rendition of the new 5 series back with some elements from the hapless current design to form a stronger new one – trunk space was sacrificed a bit - but who cares - the front end - with the active spoiler will reflect the current m5 IN SHORT: the M7 will redefine super sedan surely and maybe the overall image of the entire 7-series lineup"

BMW has become quite a joke, very much a let down, they have softened their cars wayy too much, too femine now

*sigh* i miss the agressive rally lines of the 85' 325ci [Frown]

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!

Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!

To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

Its true th Scooby Rocks but im scared to park it anywhere, although it has Tracker/Cat 1 alarm etc its still the #1 Target for Joy Riders / Car Thiefs etc where as the Z3 was just not a car people want to steal that much and i could park anywhere.

gbotto, bmw is one of the best cars you can buy!

modern means a drive where your arms arent wrenched off trying to stear it round courners and you can actually hear the radio over the engine!

anything that drives as smooth as a bmw / handles / sounds isn't pussy just class!

you suggest that a car is manly if its a bastard to drive, i put it to you that a nice 85 lada riva would be a manly car????

BMW has forgotten their roots and thus have been discredited in my view

X5 SUV = Oh god lets stomp on the grave of BMW even more! [Roll Eyes]

Z3 = Oh my i wonder if Zundap is rolling in his grave! [Roll Eyes]

Yeah I really didn't like the Z3 maybe the Z4 will be a bit better? It looks fairly promising.

the term "SUV" was acutally coined by the Japanese [Smile]

Nope, wrong, an HMMVW and Jeep GC-L will be much better off road

Nope wrong again, [Smile]
the day BMW pulled out of its major races it became a poser brand

off roadability isn't a concern for ppl in the real world as there are such things as roads now! a 4x4 doesn't need great traction going through a muddy bog!

i was really refering to the production cars of bmw for on road use and didn't mean anything to do with motorsport as that doesn't have any bearing on todays luxury cars, modern speedster bmw's e.g the m3 are nowadays popularised by well off teens and drug dealers who use them to show how wealthy they are wich i believe makes them a poser car, i dont know the image of bmw in italy, where i presume u are from, but i can only speak for the uk!
