    No FWD BMW M Cars Says M Boss

    BMW is expanding the M lineup at a rapid rate which has resulted in some strange, even questionable, offerings. However, the division has drawn at least one line in the sand as M Boss, Markus Flasch confirmed that there will be no front-wheel-drive-based M cars.

    This means there will be no full-fat M versions of the 1 Series and new 2 Series cars, as well as the X1 and X2 crossover SUVs. This, of course, means that there is no M2 Gran Coupe planned as the 2 Series Gran Coupe shares the same front-drive platform as the 1 Series hatchback.

    Flasch also commented recently about reserving electrification for its larger M models such as the X5 M and X6 M and perhaps its larger sedans, but the core M2, M3, and M4 models will remain petrol-powered well into the foreseeable future.

    • 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesnโ€™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.
