![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/02/25/IMG_3733.jpg) Rear luggage space, tyre is wider at 195/65 15, but no fuel tanks in rear mean deeper side pockets and greater width overall. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/02/25/IMG_3728.jpg) Fuel tank is now under LH seat with a storage locker under the front portion of the RH seat.

I wonder if they'll swap the fuel tank and storage locker for the LHD version? I'm guessing probably not - part of the charm...

You wait and wonder and look forward to the launch only to be disappointed  Such a shame, but I just don't like it at all

What is the drive train ? Are they still using the badly engineered compensators ?

It is flippin’ wide though at 1840mm which just makes it 20mm narrower than my 5 series
what width was the previous model? Actually I’ve just found the old width, (good ole Google) It was 1738 so they’ve added 102mm to its width My Roadster is 1720 wide If my maths are correct, this will be a very tight fit in a single car garage correct? My 4/4 fits quite comfortably but I need to hug the one side to leave room to get out and walk around. Still very tempted! took the 4/4 out of early hibernation to remind myself of what I have.

![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/02/25/IMG_3734.jpg) Side by side comparison Proportionally, far too wide at the front, silly bonnet gap pinched from the latest Audi A3 (which looks likes someone forgot to close it), makes the foibles of the previous 5 speeder worth ignoring as at least it had the iconic MTW shape and proportions

Yes, but bear in mind that there are no doors to open and the cockpit is narrower than the wheel to wheel width, so two people could hop in at the same time in a garage.
