Just rendered this. A TwinTurbo Power inline six-cylinder AWD version of the "familiar" FWD BMW. What do you think?

I would trade my ST in for one. Twice.

at first i saw an a45 amg fighter but this is even more accurate. I like germans entering this segment... it brings the standards for normal hot hatches up (FoST) and brings cars engineered by mercedes or bmw into a price range that suits many more enthusiasts without exposing too much of the "lower class" to plausibility of owning a bmw/mercedes. If that makes sense haha

Really doubt it will have ever have I-6 do to the transverse engine. Maybe they'll up the boost on the 2.0 to give 300hp.

Your render is good, but I still don't like the idea.

I like the render but don't like the car. It's an old people carrier on steroids. If we're talking M hatches I'd highly prefer the M135i. Not the prettiest car out there, I'll give you that much, but it's an actual production vehicle that's been available for some time now. Added bonus is that you can choose between RWD and xDrive, if I'm not mistaken.

AWD German hot-mini-mpv/hatch? Forget about the badge for a sec and tell me you wouldn't whip this. Though inline six power is probably out of the question on this platform...

I've heard they're surprisingly uninspiring to drive for what they are, but agreed.
