Wouldn't that have made the car too front-heavy with a V8, for the perfect weight distribution?

Every time I see "We are M" my head plays the "We are Farmers" insurance tune. C'mon BMW

there was never—was never any time!
but there was a 1M prototype with a V8 in it, as I was told by BMW AG themselves they felt the N54 suited the character of the 1M more.

Cool that they’ve been making these cars all along, even if they haven’t made it to production. Plenty being said of their efforts lately but it’s clear to me they still know how to make that secret sauce

I'd love to see the 7 series outfitted with BMW's V16 engine from 1987.

Wholeheartedly disagree. The PDK is a smoother transmission, better gear changes in sport/+ and perfectly fine around town. It's not jerky at all. BMW's DCT just required you to drive it a bit differently and it was fine but I undertands it's not for everyone. The ZF8 has too many compromises for me in a sports car. If the M3 didn't have a ZF8 I would've kept it.

There is a way to drive these things smoothly! Typically, people with no manual experience say this. |

I guess if they release everything, we wouldn't be able to salivate like this; thank you for sharing

Someone should ask to engineers, more than the design, transmission, etc, something about the sound. They just lost the pure M sound, even with restrictions they have today, i think they can do better
