So much for BMW's plan to have younger less affluent customers buying the baby M car.
It'll be definitely not be two years. I'm not sure if we've said that on BimmerFile but I definitely meant to. This will feel a bit more like an event. BTW this is basically what we reported more than a week ago on BF. We'll have more in BimmerCast #30 tomorrow.
