The discs for my M6 are around 15” (and £500), what are these going to cost?

18 inch front disks ? is that correct, what size are the wheels ?
Pretty obvious the next gen M135i/M140i will be this engine with the wick turned up.
As above - I can't believe that's true. Thats 457mm!Pretty obvious the next gen M135i/M140i will be this engine with the wick turned up.
Even if they're using the larger disk size (from things like the M4 and the M Performance brake kit), they'd only be 370mm.

When did BMW become so boring? All their cars are the same, they're pushing more FWD, and their cars all seem very dull.
This car is front transverse engined and 4WD.All their cars are the same? How many of their cars are like this?

Ultimate Driving Machine, eh?
Where does it say that for this car? Or are you just using a moniker they used about 2 decades ago? Genuine question by the way 
It's a Nice Mini Countryman Cooper S but that market will want a manual. I foresee the roads packed with faux SUV's all struggling to get though snowy roads but everybody can see into next doors garden while taking no notice of the road ahead. Probably kill off Older drivers as they won't be able to get in either.
Never used to be a fan of these faux SUV's but i'm coming around more and more to them. Especially like the look of this X2 and Mercedes GLC coupe... both stunning and muscular in my eyes! shame this doesn't have a 6 cylinder but I assume it will get one in 40i guise at some point? MPG wise this will do the same, if not worse than the 6 cylinder engine in real world terms so I just don't see the point bar BS Marketing/Environmentals.
The interiors on BMW's really are falling behind though, the X2 is a brand new model yet it has the interior from a 2012 1 series still bar the steering wheel (which came out in 2014)....

ks though... got to be! Evo magazine says it comes as standard with 19in wheels, and 20in's are optional.Edited by BFleming on Friday 7th September 12:17

Doubt it. I don't think the six-pot will fit in BMW's transverse architecture.
This, like the X1, 1 series hatchback, 2 series Active/Gran tourers and all minis will not be getting anything bigger than a 4 pot transverse (sideways mounted in the bay for chap that admitted not knowing) and will all be fwd based. Excellent! at last a competitor for the RSQ3 and in some respects GLA 45.
It matches the Audi for power, but will obviously need a bit more tweaking to get to the 355bhp of the Merc.
Now I don't need the size of an X3 the nearest was an X1 25d, which after 300+ bhp is not an attractive proposition. So let's see if they put the same engine into the X1.

I don't mind the outside, I think it's the best of the X series. Sadly, the interior does nothing for me, especially that 6ft long gear knob which looks like it's off of a 90s Honda and just annoys me in the X1 and X2. Sad I know...
Oh, and that is really st badging up a 4-pot as an M car.

t badging up a 4-pot as an M car.I followed one of these yesterday, although it was probably just the carcinogenic version that the proles will have, and I was blissfully unaware of the existence of such a thing till then. My eyes, my fking eyes!
TBF it's not the ugliest BMW ever but it's got some serious competition to beat on that score.

What an awful, drab looking vehicle. Maybe it's better looking in a different colour but I suppose that's irrelevant, I'm sure it will hit the sales targets.
Without the I6, BMW puts this uncomfortably close to the SQ3 surely?
They never made an SQ3 iirc.Without the I6, BMW puts this uncomfortably close to the SQ3 surely?

Not a lot to choose between them other than looks I'd guess.
