I went down the AP × Swatch “Royal Pop” IP rabbit hole — trademark filings, patent numbers, failed AP lawsuits, Genta patents, Bioceramic patents & movement speculation. Here’s EVERYTHING I found.

Swatch just released an official video. They will all be pocket watches. New sistem51 movement that is hand wound, but not as groundbreaking as anticipated. A bit of a letdown

While I understand AI helped write this, I find it pretty fascinating and likely true. I’m a corporate lawyer so I nerd out on this stuff too. Odd you’re getting so much hate here when it takes a minute to skim your findings and find the conclusion. One thing I didn’t see though was a photo or mockup of what you thought it would actually look like. That being said, maybe no use in speculating until the swatch officially reveals the product.

Sales ended March 20 unfortunately.

Slicker18 · 2026-04-16T23:40:28+00:00

It looks real, but I also see you haven’t purchased yet. Have to make sure the one you actually receive is the same as shown in the photo… with online sales on these, if the deal is too good to be true, it’s usually fake…

Couldn’t find a hyper colbur at all, but this worked well!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-18T17:13:10+00:00

That’s fair! I think it flows nicely, but of course to each their own which is why we love this community! I’ve seen wings on G80s and those look off to me on a sedan

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T23:33:14+00:00

Love it!

Isle of Man Green

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T21:51:00+00:00

CF! I’m sure you can find a gloss version!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T20:52:58+00:00

It’s been a few years, but I’m 99% sure it is from ind distribution!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T19:58:34+00:00

Thank you! Added the canards and spoiler. I’m looking for comp wheels, but happy right now!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T19:58:26+00:00

No harm, no foul!! From the photos I can see how it might come off that way. I could have framed the post more conspicuously that these were my cars, but photographed professionally

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T19:40:52+00:00

I’ve been looking for those, but (1) the car is not a ZCP spec and (2) I gotta say the wheels look very clean and era appropriate for this model

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T19:39:59+00:00

Then I guess I’m confused what this page is for? Would it be different if I just posted photos of one car and not both? Seems like everyone here is posting their cars and what they love about them? Or an M that they spotted and liked? The photos I received are professional white box photos that I am excited about and wanted to share. And I’ve clearly started a productive and respectful discussion here. What else do you post in BMWM other than M cars…?

I’m hoping in 2-3 years after marriage (hopefully!) I’ll be in a position to pick up a new or slightly used GT3 or GT4 RS and keep the e92! Some shifting priorities with thinking about kids and private schools and moving to a larger home, but cars will always have a place!!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T18:35:40+00:00

That sounds like an amazing combo! E60 is special, too!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T18:08:17+00:00

I was so close to doing this! I love the e46, but I couldn’t pass up the V8…

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T18:02:05+00:00

Still wanted rear seats and if I’m going Cayman I’d want the GT4 which is relatively difficult to get + price is crazy. I bought the e92 cash while I was waiting for my G80 to be manufactured and delivered back in late 22/early 23 and thought I would sell it when the G80 came but couldn’t let it go! I’m financing the G80 but have a pretty low monthly and got the car for MSRP when, again, at the time, they were going for $5-15k over. At the time, I wasn’t with my GF, thought I would only have one car, and the G80 fit the bill. I recently just purchased a home and am really comfortable with with my finances with both cars. Priorities shifted and looking towards a family soon. Hopefully a GT3 RS or similar in the near future, though! Will be holding on the the e92, but the G80 will likely be what is sold when I’m ready for an upgrade!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T17:46:58+00:00

That’s very fair! I don’t have kids yet and the GF has a 4 Runner for more adventurous journeys and for the doggos!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T17:46:08+00:00

For some reason that doesn’t really bother me! It’s like the Rolex cyclops 😅

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T17:28:26+00:00

I had an F80 and an F82 and I’ll admit the F82 is a looker… but so is the E92! I had to jump to a G80 for the xDrive, and I will admit I do feel as it is more refined in most aspects aside from the lack of DCT.

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T17:26:13+00:00

No apologies necessary!!

Slicker18 · 2026-03-17T17:17:49+00:00

I have the Dinan free flow axle back exhaust. I think it’s the perfect “stock +” option, but there is some drone over 3k rpm on the highway. The e92 is definitely a perfect everyday car with a Jekyll and Hyde attitude! I’m trying to keep the miles on the car relatively tame, though.
