It's a conspiracy. Instead of making the same car, BMW keeps updating their models. Almost as if they want to stay competitive and make money.

Yes spookey stuff …I think the conspiracy is they create a back log of orders they know they can’t truely fulfil to make sure every last vehicle in the current model is sold , with contract terms that make it difficult for customers to pull out , before they announce the new model. “Smart business “

Seconding this. Curious to know if the next generation Cooper SE will make its way to America or not.

Added MINI U25 and F6x to the main list. Will add J0x later, but US readers shouldn't wait for that - those cars are not for our shores.

Will the i4 (G26) get an LCI next spring? I tried to look back and I only saw information on the 4 series, my apologies if I missed anything for the i4.

I want BMW to come up with a new vehicle soon

Good to know. Wonder if there will be any cosmetic changes..

I'm sure if you call them up they'll oblige.

Heads up for MINI fans: don't look for updates here, I now have an arrangement with MotoringFile where it properly belongs.

So loss of 12hp, going from 387 to 375 in US?

US has 382hp and 369 lb-ft of torque for the current O1 variant.

The M2 variant is 375hp and 384 lb-ft of torque (and 398 lb-ft with electrical assistance - ‘boost’)

Means a loss of 7hp, but a gain of 15 lb-ft (29 lb-ft with ‘boost’) of torque.

Do we know when we can order the new 2024 5 series? and when it will arrive at dealers? I know there's no official info but was wondering if ynguldyn knows anything sorry if this info is already posted but my search didn't find it

[paladin732]

I'm getting conflicting information from my dealer on if builds in June are going to be 2024 or 2023 for i7. This post looks like it will be the end of 2023? (I've also noticed nearly every dealer I talk to has their allocation in June, which is... odd... unless they only produce the i7 a few months of the year?)

Any ideas of what would change with the 2024 model and would it be worth waiting?

Are you at freedom to elaborate on this?
