I came across this article at
m5board.com and I was wondering if someone can confirm or add something to this story.
" Could this really be true? See the screenshot from bmwusa.com site. The rumours could might be true, and then we have a significant news for the Detroit Auto Show. The information first surfaced on a Saturday but all information was then taken down from the BMW USA site the following Sunday. Luckily we at m5board.com took a screenshot if the information. Interesting things are happening for sure for BMW M enthusiasts in North America. "
