Bold of you to assume I can get a real woman

Neat!

And it definitely seems like they’ll be adding in the simulated engine sounds as well based on the last couple of seconds of audio at the end. I agree, this will likely end up being the new benchmark for a performance EV.

Like beyond plaid performance ? Absolutely 0 chance. There is a near 0% chance it exceeds current m3 performance , maybe slightly in straight line perf with no way it beats it on track.

I mean…

Kinda like my real doll. 😬

I drive a Model 3 Performance as a daily

Nothing beats it as a daily driver

Insane Mode is amazing

Quad will be epic

I can’t wait

Nothing about a 2 door coupe, as apparently the 4 series platform will not carry over—which will be sad. Any mention about a 6 resurrection to fill the void left by the outgoing 4 and 8 series?

I think the 6er is done

Maybe a new 6er Gran Coupe, but that’s probably about it

Nadine!!!!!!! Who’s going to call their car Nadine?

If they make it coupe, I'm trading in my F82. If they don't, I'm keeping the F82 and leasing the 4 door.

[imc43]

honestly do not want fake shifting if it makes it even slightly slower in acceleration than standard EV acceleration

Yes, that is the herd mentality.

When you leave the herd, a whole new world opens up.

I know, I was hoping a 6ish type car, but doesn't look promising. Not to be redundant, but neither did an xDrive M2 and here it comes.

Speaking of 8 series voids. I'm actually going to look at this tomorrow on a whim. Let's see what happens...

Not everyone…

Beast mode lasts less than 5 or 10 minutes….perhaps that’s enough for you.

when you recognize that you just follow another herd out there, a whole new realization will set in

Well a Taycan Sedan can easily beat the M3 around the Nurburgring currently, and you actually think they would go through all this trouble for something slower?

It will provide the same experience of an e-tron or Taycan turbo, which absolutely isnt a bad metric, but meh

Current EVs are all one single uninspiring formula, extremely fast, instant torque, but generally heavy and not really agile at all

As an appliance they have a purpose and they’re great, but as an enthusiast vehicle, it’s more likely that the scene will die than EVs becoming it’s heart and soul

What the EVs lose in handling agility, they more than make up with throttle agility (instant torque, responsiveness). The way the throttle is directly connected to the g-forces pushing you in the seat make most ICE cars seem laggy in comparison. Throttle response is something you can enjoy when driving on every street, every day. If the handling is good enough to beat the ICE M3 around the Nurburgring, then the handling is more than good enough for the street. For those that believe that nostalgic feel and experience are everything.... are the same people that would stay with a slow manual transmission because it "feels" better rather than a modern performance automated transmission.

If you are looking 2 door, maybe the R-36 GTR will be an option?

How are folks who have bought M cars in the past and have a deep connection to the way they used to be coping with this new future?

The same way people in 1980 who had a deep connection with their typewriters coped with the transition to computers.

Better off leasing regardless

Never thought I'd agree, but with new BMWs being horribly overpriced and even worse looking, I might check a Tesla out if I need another car. Performance for the price cannot be beat, and I think they even look better the current BMW lineup (which isn't a big ask honestly).
