Back in December, our article on the Tentative 2010 BMW Roadmap scratched the surface on things we predicted will happen this year, from new models unveiling to future concepts. While the list was fairly accurate, there were still some missing pieces of the puzzle that we might be able to put together today.
Courtesy of Scott27 of GCZ, we are able to give you a far more complete picture of what lays ahead for BMW in 2010. While we can’t vouch for the entire information related by the BMW insider, there are certainly some overlapping news that we have heard from other sources as well. Since we’re only in January, there is also a possibility that some plans may change as we advanced into the year.
