i guess it WONT..
im waiting to see if MB axe future modells.. if they dont i think bmw are being cowards..and boring as hell..
if they do..well then its a must...

It will be fun for BMW fans these coming years..
Biggest news at the IAA 09 from BMW: 3 diesel engines.. and a new gearbox..wohoooo

OMG..
Yea BMW are being chicken sht for taking care of themselves. Please refer to thread that says Q3 profits are down 63%

If that doesn't paint the picture enough, here are some more numbers from October in the US:
Volvo: 52.1
Cadillac: 55.1
GM: 45
Honda: 25
Toyota: 23
Oh did I mention that all these numbers were negative... The car industry is all about being "not boring as hell" and kind of doing whatever you feel like

Stop talking nonsense please. IAA 2009 is F10 5er release....which is pretty HUGE.

6er is after 5er.

Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door GT

^ohh my bad..i thought 6er comes like CL to S..
you know better man..

and im surprised the 5er is out so soon.. seems very camoed for the moment..
but if so.. then GREAT.. no one is more happy than me..

Still you guys get my point..

Some boring times ahead.. for those who appriciate cars with a propeller upfront..

PS
Warot BMW are cowards in my eyes..they have always been..and with this economical situation you can rest assured that BMW will take the LARGEST precautions there is..and play it extremely safe..maybe more than needed..
Heck they played it safe back when the world was doing good..
Now they even have a reason..haha

Yeah ... I guess you prefer big & bold moves ... like BMW acquiring Rover, or Daimler Benz merging with Chrysler.

Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door GT

^nah im not that large of a hustler..
ile be happy with the occasional super car..
like the SL65 BS..or the upcoming Gullwing..that is enough for me..

I wished for a M6 CSL.. and then a M3 CSL.. and then a CS..

I guess i wont get any..

I think they could atleast make one of them.. and thats GIVEN the economical situation of the world right now..

Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door GT

BMW certainly have some serious problems...
Cancelling the CS Concept- for what!!.
The answer is obvious isn't it: another SUV of course.
It is easy to actually predict the BMW product map.

Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door GT

Well, BMW is profit company, they don't do public service, if it sells is good for them. BMW is atracting more costumers, but pushing the hardcore fans away, in the end, market will decide if bmw was right or wrong...
