When a new S58 arrives, it will be very interesting to see what they do to increase output from the existing S55, including whether they can match or exceed power figures of the version in the M4 GTS. This, especially if they do not go the water-injection route. The direct competitors to the X3M and X4M will be the GLC63 and GLC63 coupe, and we know those will be using the 4.0L M177 V8 with no less than 500hp in "S" trim. So, as with the M3/M4, they will be down one liter of displacement and will need to get creative - perhaps even more so in this case since performance SUVs tend to be more about brute strength than performance passenger cars - to provide compelling competition. |

I understand you can't out your source, obviously, but can you tell us whether your source is inside the dealer network, BMW NA, or BMW GmbH?

As you know I had my name on an M2 for 2 years before they were realised and was genuinely gutted when the leaks became facts. For me it's nowhere close to being special enough. |
