    BMW i3 and i8 Might Not Be Replaced, iX3 Coming In 2020

    According to a recent report on Autocar, BMW’s i brand might not replace the i3 and i8 with next-generation models.

    The electric vehicles division within BMW will continue to offer bespoke models and electric versions of current BMW’s starting with the iX3 in 2020. This will be the first of 11 electric BMW’s to arrive by 2025.

    The i3 served to showcase BMW’s method of making its first electric car and the i8 showed how electric power could enhance performance. At the end of their life-cycles, their jobs will be considered done, which is why replacements are not formally in development or in BMW’s product plan.

    “We’re still deciding [about] the i8,” said i boss Robert Irlinger. “We see a market for new kinds of sports cars. Whatever it’s called, or if it’s a new kind of sports car, is still in discussion.”

    On the flip side of this, there is still a possibility of a more powerful i8s coming our way as Head of BMW i Product Management, Alexander Kotouc, told AutoExpress that customers have been asking for such a vehicle.

    “Yes, there is customer demand for a more powerful version but it needs to make sense for our brand,” Kotouc added. “You could put a V12 in there and it would be incredibly powerful but would it still be a BMW i car? We need to find the perfect balance.”

    A more powerful i8s version could push the coupe into serious supercar territory.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
