I wasn't talking about the i8. I was talking about the surprise car(s ?) that BMW says they will show us for their 100 year anniversary in 2016.

So will the M10 share anything w the i8 other than carbon tech?
I wonder if anyone has seen sketches or sightings I saw an R4 proto not too long ago so maybe there will be a competitor to that as well |

I wouldn't be surprised (remember we've had 3 cylinder, FWD, Xdrive, Turbo M) if BMW does have a 918 /P1 hybrid competitor at some point, but not this decade - if they can eventually span the entire car market spectrum and produce amongst the best cars in each category this is likely to put them at top of the global automotive tree. I hope this time we'll see a McLaren 650s & 911 Turbo S competitor that drives better than a GT3. That would be the thing to have. However I'm also thinking 2016 is less than 2 years away and no spy shots of any Supercar have been taken... Let's hope it's not the X9 that is the 100th anniversary surprise. Although that would explain the need for a giant new showroom ![]() |

Would love to visit. 200 BMWs and 200 BMW motorcycles on display, it's like a museum.
"Can we help you?" "Yes, I'll take an i8, an M4 Coupe, a 760Li, an M6 convertible, an HP4, and an R1250GS. Oh almost forgot - we're in Europe - so I will have a K1300R as well. And an X7 to tow it all out of here!" I bet this will be an awesome place to visit! ![]() |

It'll take a dealership this large to fit examples of all of the models they're creating these days....
