Yep, I saw your disclaimer. But, not all rumors are equally credible - just sharing my two cents on this one.

Anyway, thanks for posting the Car article. By far the most interesting part was the very last paragraph. In it, the author claims to have inside information confirming that the next 3 Series (chassis code not yet known) will be the first product built on the Neue Klasse architecture.

I had been wondering about this since we know that both the debut of that platform and the next 3 Series SOP were slated for 2025. Assuming the claim holds, this all but guarantees that the next 3 Series and M3 will give up the inline six engine. I say this because, although we know Neue Klasse can support combustion engines, reportedly it is only those with three or four cylinders.
