BMW files for new trademarks and out of an extensive list, a few monikers stand out: BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, X2 and a range of M products. It is not uncommon for automakers to register different model names in order to protect the intellectual property which doesn’t necessary translate into future products coming to market.

We have already learned in the past that BMW is planning a 2 Series family, a spin-off from the new 1 Series, that will include the coupe and convertible variants. Built on the F20 platform, the new 1 Series Coupe will move up in class and be sold under the 2 Series badge. The car will share some design cues with the 1 Series Hatchback, but overall, the 2 Series Coupe is expected to look and feel sportier than its brother.
So what is the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer? First, we’re inclined to believe that this will be hybrid model of the 2 Series. Second, from a design standpoint, the Active Tourer could mean a crossover of some sort. Our sources say that BMW is sees the Active Tourer as an answer to customer request for extended space in family-oriented vehicle that offers more flexibility in a much smaller car.

What kind of car m10 will be?
Who knows. It’s just a placeholder for now. Im sure in the next 10 yrs we will see a super M
Only in your dreams, ridiculous dreamer. bmw is far from making even good cars. All they can is to make turtle-like cars of shitty reliability.
I CAN SEE A SUPERCAR M COMING SOON TO SHIT ALL OVER THESE OTHER SUPERCARS!
Terms “bmw” and “supercar” are on different poles, pathetic asshole. The best your bmw can make is the ridiculous 5 series that gets easily owned on the race track by the brilliant A6.
Why are you even on a BMW fan website when you hate BMW? I don’t go to websites of other car brands to say shit…
On the ‘A6 is better then a 5-series’ part I totally disagree. Btw since when does an A6 and 5-serie belong to a track? Those are road cars and BMW is better in every single aspect. If we take it up to the next level the M5, which is a family car, can launch under 4 seconds with launch control while you need a 5.2 liter R8, which is a supercar, to do the same.. Who’s a better car maker then? I think my point is made.
where X7?!
Why? bmw should stop fooling customers and discontinue production of their pathetic cars.
bmw supercar coming soon
