New Westfield launch - 9th August- PistonHeads Annual Service @ Bicester Motion

[DIY-Si]

I couldn't talk to them too much more at the time, as they were busy trying to get the cars detailed and ready for the day. I'll have to see if they're feeling any less tight-lipped in a bit.

@DIY-Si Are both cars the same? The green one is left hand drive 🧐

Like the wheels, anyone know source?

Overall, yes. The green one is a left hand drive customer's car that is awaiting delivery.

Some more info about the engines...

 

Anyone of you guys there can crack that bonnet open please? 🤣

[MattV]

Any word on pricing? In a world where an M3 now costs £100k and you can spend £65k + on a Cateringvan, it will be interesting to see how much these are pitched at. 
 

That interior is gorgeous and certainly makes it look classy and expensive, and those seats are 🥰

I can't help wondering if there's an engine in there...

I can't see that being a good choice BMW engines don't exactly have a reputation for simplicity.

Their custom produced engine could well be a duratec with custom manifolds and cams.  Maybe a bit of porting.  That's not a criticism, by the way, it'd be a sensible way to do it.
