It’s been posted for a long time now on the front page that production for the G42 was supposed to start this month.Does anyone have confirmation from BMM that production has actually started?

Yeah that's why I'm asking. The official 2 series thread says "Market Launch November 2021" so I was conflicted.

I handle the inventory at my BMW store and we've heard nothing about production for the G42. My guess is the November release date is correct.

SOP stands for "Start of production". Market launch is a different thing.

And in most cases I don't make the distinction between different SOPs of Euro and US models, unless they're more than a couple of months apart.

Correct, however the G42 has not begun production yet and I assume won't for at least another month or two.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Unless European production is starting...

However much BMW loves the US market, it would never develop an engine just for that market.

That's going to rub some die hards the wrong way.

While we're on G87, anything else you can tell us?

FWIW see here ("G42: Press Says September 2nd SOP").

I've been thinking about the readers of this thread, and I realized that they fall into two categories: those who check its updates (either subscribed or when it shows up on the front page) and those who visit it to learn about specific model plans. With that in mind, I've reworked the top post into two parts: first, it's all the info known about specific models, and after that the random updates from the last two months in the order they were posted. I hope this layout will make the post easier to read.

I haven't posted about it because there's nothing to post about. There's nothing major happening to it up to the moment it dies. A very mild (not a real LCI) refresh will happen in 11/22, a few things will become standard, the wheel choices will change slightly, and that's it.

I really liked the nice SOP overview, so maybe reconsider bringing that back in addition to the (really nice) model specific part.

Any specific reason why G80 EOP is almost a year before G82.

Next Generation of 3er. The current Sedan ends production as does the G80.
