2016 BMWs 100th Birthday

JustChris · 11-26-2014, 02:32 PM

What would you like to see happening in 2016?

There's quite a bit of talk of a halo car topping the i8.
I think the M2 actually ships in early 2016?
New M6?
Extra tacky new keyring with every car sold in 2016?

But in general for anyone buying in 2016 could be a good year for special editions maybe?

I would like to see a range topping flagship 8 series preferably with a tuned version of the engine used in the ghost.

That or a one off M8.

Basically something by BMW to smoke aventadors.

M4 Touring

Can't be.

BMW became a car manufacturer in 1929!

Hmm, best tell the BMW exces, they're saying 2016.

Nick the Greek · 11-26-2014, 03:07 PM

No they made aircraft before that date.

JustChris · 11-26-2014, 03:14 PM

I thought it was plane engines before 1929 along with bikes, ah well. Looks like they're keen to big up the century.

Surprised they are crowing about 100 years anniversary.

Not a good year

Nick the Greek · 11-26-2014, 03:56 PM

@ChesterM2 Correct. Before 1929 the companies that eventually merged to form BMW made aircraft engines and motorcycles.

i9 coming out - was asked if wanted to put down deposit. Was sorely tempted then bought my Fiat instead and that was that.
