I'll be driving through Bishop next week. Hope to see something like this while I am out there.

positiveions · 08-16-2017, 09:00 PM

I was in Bishop on 8/11/17. Missed this sighting.
Thanks for sharing.

We were at Buttonwillow for a private day and they were testing these cars o track. I'll post a detailed later with more pics but here is a few from a distance. They came to the hot pits to chat with us too.

New M5, x3m, m2 CS, some new i8, along with the nice fleet mobile.

@ M3 Number 86: be sure you catch the important details

That must have been a neat experience. Thanks for the pics.

The GLC 63S has a V8 TT. Why does BMW run these Golf sounding 6-cylinder?

Those are stock rims, not even M sport ones.

nyalpine90 · 08-17-2017, 11:30 AM

definitely need to change style of those rims smh
flower design has to go!!!!

BMW is really going after the glc63 amg, I guess x4M will be the next move(glc63amg coupe).

paliknight · 08-21-2017, 01:47 PM

wider hips and M mirrors should have been standard. FML

Yeah, lots of things other than the quad exhaust pointing to not an M car. Odd. Doesn't even have the big blue brakes of the Msport.

Looks like the 726 Individual wheels in the front. Bodes well with it having different rear wheels, should mean they've added DPC.
