These CEO's and Mbosses are worse than politicians. They totally contradict themselves. Mark my words there will be an M3 CSL and a performance variant of the 135i.

LOL. Yes we do need a "performance" version of the 135. Mine is such a slug. :biggrin:

rcracer_tx · 07-31-2008, 06:07 PM

Are they going to call it an MX6? I think Mazda might get a little pissy.

professor · 08-01-2008, 12:02 AM

alright! in your (ugly) face, cayenne turbo!

Robert · 08-01-2008, 12:33 AM

wtf MX6 and MX5... Mazda is gonna sue!

well they can keep making them and only Amir, Sultan and Sheiks will buy them. No one else can afford the gas.

Endre · 08-01-2008, 01:35 AM

Yea we do need a ''performance'' variant. A car within the 1 that makes a 135i look normal.

more performance as per onehots2k= LSD, lighter weight, better aerodynamics and aesthetics, more power hp bump, less understeering, factory warranty, etc.

I would be happy if I could buy the tii concept just like it is

friscogypsee · 08-01-2008, 08:29 PM

I just hope bmw releases a tune, then I'll be happy. Might have to go w dinan tho, since a 135i bmw tune might tempt potential m3 customers.

TunedM2C · 08-06-2008, 01:59 PM

I see a //M X6 in my future.

Heinzftw · 08-08-2008, 12:29 AM

I was just watching a review of the X6 and it hit me. The new X6 has the old X5's 4.4liter engine. I bet that the M Versions will have the 4.8Liter engine that is in the current X5. Except with twin turbo's and higher boost. It all makes sense now!! :thumbup:
