I'm actually kind of shocked by this one. Audi and Merc have left behind their diesels, and I thought BMW was about to do the same. They planned an X3 xDrive30d, which is nowhere to be heard or seen, the 540d came to America, selling 75 units, and is now somehow discontinued after 3 months, and it seems like the G20 3 series won't be getting a 30d model. I think the only reason the X5 xDrive40d is still a possibility is because of the sales numbers compared to their other diesels, but given the state of diesel in the US, we may never see it.

New dash, as in the display screen seen in the 8er and new X5?

A new dash is a great thing on the X3. BMW's dashes have looked the same for awhile now.

seeing the extension on the f36 tells me that the next 4gc will really be the 4gt to make up for the 3er gt being gone. This only makes sense seeing what bmw did to the 6gc.

I will definitely definitely miss the F36
Too bad it never got an S55 and four pipes out back such a fantastic daily. Onward and forward we march...

There's a investigation going on ... https://money.cnn.com/2018/03/20/inv...ons/index.html Plus ... " Germany's top court recently paved the way for major cities to ban diesel vehicles, and other cities and countries are looking to do the same." Doesn't sound like a place for bmw to invest a lot of money in right now does it ? Here is how things are going at "JLR". https://amp.ft.com/content/637351dc-...4-2218e7146b04 The company, which is heavily reliant on diesel sales in UK and Europe, has been hit by the political backlash against the fuel that has seen some cities consider banning older diesel engines and governments increase taxes. In the UK, diesel sales currently account for less than a third of new car sales, compared with more than half four years ago, and new taxes that came into force last month are expected to accelerate the decline. JLR blamed the diesel collapse for a decision last month to cut 1,000 jobs at its British factories. |

With the iPerformance lineup soon growing to include the X3, there will be full overlap between the models that include a PHEV and the models that would (or in the past) have included a diesel. The 3er, 5er, 7er, X3, and X5 all get “e” models, and while they might not necessarily offer the peak torque of a diesel, they do offer improved fuel economy compared to a similar gasoline model. The only thing missing is a 545e Model - the 5 Series should offer the drivetrains from both its larger and smaller siblings, just as it does with the gasoline engines. I should add here that I can still see a potential market for a diesel X3 or X5 since they might be used to tow a boat or for other activities where the torque is beneficial. But for passenger cars, the demand appears to have shifted. |

Check out the curb weight of this MY2019 car, 1100 lbs less than M2. Trimming 500 lbs from CSL needs to be done.

Good question. What are the tow ratings for the outgoing F15 35i, 50i, and 40e? That would probably give at least some insight into what we can expect for the G05 40i, 50i, and 45e.

The F15 X5 40e had a 6000lbs tow rating like the other F15 X5. I suspect it will be the same with the G05 X5 45e probably 7200lbs like the other X5. The only thing that is suspicious is that when the battery goes dead your X5 45e become a 30i with more ballast to haul. So i can imagine it screaming for his mama going up a 15% grade towing 7000lbs. Most of owner did prefer the F15 35d for towing.
