: Not unless it has Porsche brakes, Porsche suspension, Porsche handling and a Porsche engine....

: I simply don't believe 0-60 MPH in under 5.0 seconds. You can claim what you want...it doesn't make it true. You have no idea what the gearing will be and if BMW hasn't decided on the exact specifications of the engine yet then you have no idea either.

: I also don't believe a BMW engineer is going to risk his career by disclosing proprietery information to you so that you can post it to the number 1 BMW related internet site. You are not nearly as anonymous as you think.

: If Bruce was posting this info then I would believe him...I KNOW he has legitimate contacts.

DC, I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest with you. Just posting what I've been told. All the speculation will be over soon.

By the way, I'm not saying BMW will replace the Porsche, only that they are chasing the acceleration.
