A bunch of trademark registration filings by BMW has given us a glimpse of what could be coming up in the future. Here’s a full list:

M 50 d Urbanic Gran Coupe Compactive Compactive Tourer |
i1 i2 i3 i4 i5 i6 i7 i8 i9 |
E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7 E8 E9 |
The names with i probably versions of a new range of ‘isetta’ project i compact cars to compete in the premium city car category. The names with E could be either electric versions of the Project i cars or perhaps electric versions of existing models with “eDrive” (as opposed to sDrive or xDrive) powertrains. An E1 could be a 1-Series powered by eDrive, for example. This is all just speculative of course. Compactive is probably a portmanteau of Compact and Active, but it doesn’t sound very nice.
M 50 d sounds very interesting – are we looking at the BMW M division’s first turbodiesel car? They’ve already gone ahead and broken many other M ‘taboos’ already, and I did actually hear a source admit there’s a M diesel in the making sometime last year.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
OMG!! So many new engines. I think this is the right way; build better engine for the future, not to wasting time, money and effort to run a F1 and only to get a big head and glamourous chicks.
M50d is confirmed (not so sure about that) by a BMW forumer that it will be the tri-turbo diesel. It will be available from 5 series model onwards and most probably will debut in the next 6 series.

f1 is part of tech development. but since bmw already good in tech..so no need to waste money on f1. always dream to drive bmw car. no need m3..just normal 318i.
Hopefully i7 have at least 4 cores with HT :)
'i' series…? BMW is going all hyundai….?, or it should denotes new engines, E is for efficient dynamics ,'I' is for…full electric..? range-xtender thingy….
Turbodiesel for M? Hmm, interesting.
Hopefully there's petrol M vs diesel M in automobile documentaries.
