I like it.. If looked nothing like it.. And if it didn't exist at all..

Doesn't the Merc R class have an AMG version? Don't see why BMW won't do the same thing.

ZEEM3R · 02-19-2015, 10:21 AM

I'd rather just buy a fully equipped Honda Odyssey. Those things have everything packed into them!

I'd rather by an Oddsey and put an M sticker on it. Sorry I have children and all the accessories that go with them and I'll still take an SUV. I have an x3 and it's great for the job. Death before minivan.

SilentAttack · 02-19-2015, 10:33 AM

I'd take it over a mini van

I believe nightmare was the word you were looking for, instead of fantasy.

Doctor///M · 02-19-2015, 10:46 AM

First and last time I'll look at this thread. You just desecrated all the exterior features present on my F80. Glad it wasn't presented in AY!!

Schm · 02-19-2015, 10:47 AM

Lol it doesn't look bad. Like a more practical, AWD Focus (or C-Max) RS

335ddd · 02-19-2015, 10:50 AM

finally a real M2. tall and fwd. bravo BMW. fantasy it must be

SkeezyLP · 02-19-2015, 10:55 AM

I really like the look of these, but if it's front-wheel-drive and has an M badge, I'll be done with this watered down ///m branding.

BetoVera · 02-19-2015, 10:55 AM

No more internet for me today.

JamezE36 · 02-19-2015, 10:59 AM

Congratulations you have managed to improve the 2GT!
The issue is its just putting glitter on a turd...

Shroom · 02-19-2015, 11:02 AM

I like the concept but it looks like someone smushed the clay model's front end together with their fingers and it made it through to production that way. Not a fan of the "Carp nose" look with a whale body. Same redesign on the Alpina 6. Not masculine enough for me…too dainty.

i'm sorry this is hands down the stupidest thing i've ever seen. i can't even begin to understand why this is rendered wtf

marcva · 02-19-2015, 11:27 AM

As someone who watches his wife drive her Odyssey with the Overdrive locked out on the highway at 4500 RPM, I would welcome some entrant into the Minivan category that is a little more performance oriented. the M badge on a van is sacrilegious IMO, but a 235GT might be a fun grocery-getter. I tried pushing the 535it, but she wanted more space.

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.

they can drive the car in reverse for RWD

Fixed:
That is what we currently have. It is terrific, and being based on the 7 series platform, you can feel the size that is for certain. Yet and still, it is no minivan.

Best way to take a group of kids to school. I don't see anything wrong with it

bimmergoat · 02-19-2015, 12:08 PM
