Gran Turismo 7 "April 2025/1.59" Update Prediction Thread

BMW 635 E24 (Road/Europe/Used/All-New), or Alpina B7 of same because "someone" at PD has/had one

Would this mean there would be a new mfg brand in the mix for Alpina? Or will it fall in with the rest of BMW?

Alpina is a car manufacturer. So it’d be a new brand like Ruf.

If it is a manufacturer, then why do they all have BMW roundels on their bonnets and on the boot?

It’s BMW ALPINA. They have Alpina badges as well. Some Alpinas have Alpina VIN numbers and BMW VIN numbers.

Edit: To take it back a bit, when we had the Toyota Surveys, ALPINA is listed separate from BMW, as a brand players could tick they were interested in.

Here are a couple videos of the history.

PD posted pics of the Vantage from the last update on Instagram.

I read here that usually this means the silhouette update is near?

I'm depressed seeing so many people say that an April update is unlikely because I've been eagerly awaiting the silhouettes to drop this week. Really, they should have landed by now if it's an April update, and the whole thing with the social media posts on the previous update's content that...

Hm, we didn't have an American car for quite a while. We know PD doesn't hesitate to add somewhat strange cars. And I guess Uncle Elon is trying to push a certain car, 'cause it's no secret that it doesn't sell at all.

I have a bad feeling about this😟😄

As they have no marketing department of which to speak, it's probably not a concern.

That said, he does self-identify as a gamer - though he is more like when you give a toddler a non-functional controller to keep them occupied and engaged while you play the game. In fact I'm surprised, given that he pays people to be good at the game so he can take credit and pretend it's him, he didn't qualify for GTWS with Renault.

- BMW 635. I’m thinking a regular one and not the M635 CSi just because it could be either like we have both E30, both CSL models and in the datamine, PD have both 2002 Tii and Turbo models.

I don't know how I missed this from you and @Famine earlier.

THIS WOULD BE ME FOR LIKE THREE HOURS A DAY.

I hope you're right. I have no problem with the Model 3 (well, besides that it's an EV and EVs in this game are often useless) but I really don't need the Cybertruck in the game.

Regards Alpina, they are now a subsidiary of BMW, whereas before (and possibly when the Toyota survey was live) they were an independent manufacturer. So it's possible they would be added under BMW, the same way the European Fords are lumped in with the parent company.
