Would be good to see the V8 in both XE and XF and F-Pace to tell you the truth... even if it is the 485hp tune?!?

That would give it a slight edge over the current BMW M3/4 and make it roughly equivalent to the MB 2016 C-Class AMG version, the C63-S w/ 503 HP. BMW will, no doubt, catch up on the M3/4s before we ever see an XE SVR with that kind of power, and both BMW and MB will do whatever it takes retain bragging rights. This class is far too important to them.

Interesting article in the February Road and track, First Drive: "Return of the King". It stated that the real 3 series killer was BMW's quest for sales growth, which demanded a sport sedan that didn't offend anyone. BMW is trying to catch back up in the handling Department with their 340i. They put in a more rigidly mounted front suspension, retuned electric power steering, revised rear dampers, a $1,700 track handling package, 320hp with 330lb-ft of torque. I guess the XE is putting some pressure on BMW after being asleep at the wheel.

now that the XE has been facelifted with the latest 10.2" infotainment screen an d f-type centre dial screen (my 2 biggest peeves with XE), i've started looking at one as alternative to f-pace
but before i order a V6 S, i've been looking online for any info of an R spec in development and couldn't find anything
last thing i want to do is buy a V6 S, and have it obsolete as range topper by time it arrives (need a solid 6 months here in aus before the facelift lands)
are there any pics of test mules for this rumoured R and SVR???
