Quite a lot of BMW enthusiasts there and great to meet a lot of you.

Hypothetically it is the 9er , so if we are thinking about a 9er then surely there must be an 8er? Again hypothetically it would slot in status-wise? between the 7er and the 9er offering the best of both. And there is progressive opportunity for further variants.

The next 6er takes its place with the architecture developed in collaboration with Toyota but it will not lose out on lightweight advantages as these models will also feature a specially developed load bearing structure out of CFRP.
