Guys, anyone knows if m3 g80 sedan CS will get a LCI refresh or they stay with M4 CS only now? Since m3 CS touring is coming anyway, but what about sedan?

That's it for the M8 coupe then?

My guess is the shorter wheelbase doesn't give enough room for the battery and everything else that is in the new M5.

It is a shame as this could be the one way that BMW could make an M car with a V8 without it weighing stupid amounts. A nice little niche and something that would make it quite different to the M5

Any word on the new body style X3M? I’m in an X5 M60i now but don’t necessarily need the size, hoping that would be a perfect side-step into something more sporty.

Believe the consensus is no full-fat M model for the G45 generation. Only will be the iX3M (or whatever they decide to call it) based on the Neue Klasse platform.

Interesting take… makes a lot of sense. I kinda assumed bmw would just throw the v8 alone in the 8 series due to the low volume and less need for the M8 to be a headline technology demonstrator the way the M5 is

Any insight to end of production plans for the g29 Z4? Will there be a final send off edition or any changes between now and 3/26 in addition to or beside the handshalter?

[SPKPL]

Any news of sooner than 11/25 production start of G22 in EU, facelifted like in US (B58TU2, ventilated seats etc)?

There are rumors that BMW plan to postpone the start of the iX3 production from 2025 to 2026 in Debrecen plant.

More likely delayed by a few months to November-December 2025.

Is it true that the M2 xDrive will kill the rwd model? Meaning no more manual M2 as of 08/26?

I can't confirm. However, BMW often kills its models before the planned end of production based on the market data.

Hello!

Do you think there will be some kind of G42 / G87 successor after this generation?

Or should we prepare to say goodbye, at least for a 2 coupé like the one we know?

I know, ynguldyn , you hate the words "dealer" and "said" used together in sentences, but... The dealer in Alexandria, VA said the MY2025 G05 X5 is the last production year ending in March of 2025 and from June there will be MY26 G65 X5. According to the first post, G05 will be produced until 07/26. If that's the fact, one should be ordered now. Otherwise, I should stop taking dealers' words seriously.

[nf0rc3r]

I have an order for i5 E40 scheduled for January production. Should I delay it for the updated changes for 2025 or it's so minor you won't bother?

Should’ve started with that from the beginning.

Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Yet, I need an answer and I don't have one yet. Do you know anything about the X5 switch to G65?

BMW never has production gaps for mainstream models.
BMW never starts new model production in Spartanburg in June.

How many spy shots and videos of the G45 were out there by fall '23? How many spy shots and videos of the G65 have we seen by now?

Would you have bought an iPhone 15 a month before the introduction of iPhone 16? If yes - don't bother. If no - ask them to postpone.

Good point but to be fair that is closer to buying a g30 just before the release of the g60? Or are u implying the difference is rly that huge?

Looks like the dealer is taking me for a proverbial ride. I'm saddened. Slightly.

The difference between 15 and 16 is not huge at all.
