///M2 Gran Tourer ?
Well... this is probably the last kind of BMW everyone would want (7 seater van). But I bet, some people would want one! And we all know anything with a ///M badge does sell well.
I'd like to hear what you guys think ? source... http://www.carscoops.com/2015/02/bmw...ght-outta.html

It's a little thing, but the stock 2AT being fwd based means that for packaging reasons the front brake calipers are mounted in front of the rotor.
There's very little chance that a production M would be able to repackage the steering, suspension and drivetrain to be able to mount the brakes behind the front rotor. I haven't had any coffee yet. |

This was a valiant attempt to make something hideous less ugly.

No one would buy this.
Anyone who would want a high performance family hauler would also be vain enough to never be seen in a van. That's what SUVs are for

You should make a poll of those responding, who has children and who does not.
Years ago I wouldn't even have felt the need to comment, but now having children, I would look into something like this. Why limit families (or dads primarily) who need this type of vehicle to the Honda Odyssey or Mazda5? And to the SUV comment, I had an X6 and my better half, being petite, quickly demonstrated getting the kids in and out and/or loading things was far from convenient (even had it lowered on KW in attempt to alleviate this). Seeing her try to load the stroller in that trunk was something I dared not bare witness to more than once. I am certain there are many that share this issue, along with the simple fact minivans are much more practical. |
