[Video]: 2018 X3-M, 2018 M5, X5-M, M2, i3 and Rolls Royce SUV Spied in Death Valley!

I was going to say, talk about right place, right time.

BALL3N · 08-17-2017, 01:32 PM

The M2 CS is packing some great stance...

Least exciting to most, and far from definitive, since these are test cars, but the i3 appears to have an ///M design wheel...///M Sport package for the i3? It would be welcome. I've seen lowered i3s and talked to the owners. Less crosswind drift. Sharper handling. Big improvement in looks.

That Rolls SUV is going to be hideous.

Yes, I loved my lowered i3 REx with spacers, leased, returned to stock and turned it in.. Very excited about this i3S but we picked up a 16 month in service i3 BEV with all options and 5,031 miles for less than $0.50 on the original MSRP dollar. Thinking of picking up a second one (CPO BEV).

The i3 update would have to be phenomenal specs and price point to consider getting another. I love my i3 but even my CPO purchased at half msrp is now less than half again on trade or an impossible private sale when there are now CPOs at sub $18k.

M2 looks good, X3 M will be the surprise of the bunch.

No one needs an M anything, especially an SUV. If his wife wants a quick grocery getter, more power to her.

No doubt it might be for him when he decides to drive it.

You never know he might be married to the queen of the ring.

I wish they would have detoured over to Vegas and picked up my G30 so they can sweat their ass off in it.

I wonder what they test there. With all the problems bmw has had over the years with their Air condition systems they should have found out.....

I admit these are dickish comments:
1. Rolls looks like a hearse.
2. Hot weather testing like that is probably why our cars over heat on the track so much...If they would flog them and not drive them at highway speeds, probably will be able to get better cooling.

And very very expensive.

Pretty sure I saw at least part of that entourage on Friday carving it's way through Highway 50 in CO between Gunnison and Montrose.
