Any opinions on the name of this hunk of junk? I thought an "ix M60" was an all wheel drive 3 series built 1988-1991 with a 4.0 v8 (if someone actually built one that's epic) But now I stand corrected.

The future is EV, though I dont think its the best answer to the current problems.. Seems like Hydrogen is a better solution, but what do I know
BMWs naming convention has been useless since they claimed the 1,3,5,7 were going to be sedans while the 2,4,6,8 were going to be coupes while immediately releasing "GranCoupe" 4-series 4 doors...
I wish they would shrink the grille since its not even a grille at all. Its there for cosmetics and its absolutely hideous.Simon

How about the X1 s-drive2.8i....I thought X meant all wheel drive and s-drive was designating rear wheel drive cars (Z4 s-drive3.5i) or maybe the RWD drive versions of SUV's but apparently a FWD re-badged mini is also s-drive....I quit trying to understand all of this a few years ago.

Hydrogen is a fossil fuel industry pipe dream, and I'm and oil & gas worker. If you are gonna go through all the energy form conversions and phase changes to produce green or maybe blue hydrogen, why not just charge a damn battery with those electrons instead?
Now if you are down for some gray or brown hydrogen, we'll then why not just eliminate a few unnecessary steps and just burn the oil & gas to begin with?
Methane capture and reformation is legitimately where I think this VC funding should be going rather than hydrogen which is problematic and inefficient to store and transport.
All that said, for 99.99% of non-commercial, personal automotive uses, BEV appliances are the way, and it's ushering in a mining renaissance unlike anything that has been seen for multiple generations. Lithium is white gold

What even is this naming convention? M is almost as meaningless as TRD at this point. BMW has lost the plot.
