That's about what many have expected given BMW trends, but it's going to disappoint a number of folks who were hoping for 500hp. I'd bet it will hit 500hp eventually during the lifespan of the G8x, but probably not until CS models arrive.
The other thing is, if the competition package will be there at or near launch and 475hp is also the launch target, then presumably the non-CP will have less power than that. |

This is looking like some good news on the S58 in the M3/M4/X3M/X4M.

Or perhaps the X7 will get the S63 V8 wearing the M60i name instead of just “M”. |

Even if this happens (Scott's been known to talk about things that don't materialize), it's not going to happen until well into X7 lifecycle. At least a couple of years after intro, if at all.

The M50i SAV models are perhaps more certain though, since we know they’ll get the N63 and that engine has been promoted to M Performance status in the M550i and upcoming M850i. |

It makes absolutely no sense in making a 7 series X model, without using the V12.
The 7 series flagship has the V12, and an even more purposeful model with this exact engine is the X7. When you have the brilliant engine, use it god damn it. And while i´m at it, use the V12 in the 8 series as well. Never forgotten the sound of the E31 with stainless steel pipes with that glorious V12 sound, it makes the V8 sound sound like a baby, The S58 is coming together nicely, should see CS with about 500 hp, an a GTS/CSL with water injection with 550ísh? Cant wait to see the X3 og X4 M versions, should be special.

What am I saying.. most of these people will never use all 475 hp.. they just want to crow that their car won a magazine test or won the Hp wars on paper. Yes indeed. the disappointment will be strong . Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 12-22-2017 at 06:13 PM.. |

I believe this is the first time the M3/4 will share an engine with an SUV. The reptilian part of my brain just hates that.

Sure, I want a modern version of the E39 M5 for my next DD - it would be lighter due to aluminum and composite carbon, MT only (hah!), RWD, 400 hp, 370 lb ft, normally aspirated. A last hurrah, then, before electric cars take over the earth (and I have to admit, I DO worry about pollution). Unfortunately, I'd probably be the only buyer...

How long into the model line production did the F80 ZCP come out? I'd be willing to wait.
