Covered these forever ago, but nice to see the information is still accurate (though not shocking this late in development). Also, looks like production may indeed begin in the November/December 2018 window as originally reported.

the 4cyl thing is still being developed surprisingly (Toyota isn't really involved I guess), there is no NA I6, and BMW has no idea which motor they want to offer or if multiple.
