At some point it should get the new revision of B58, but I can't say what the hp number is going to be.

Correct. This has been known for a couple of years now.

Yes.

I'm sorry if you covered already but when is G01 2019 SOP and any changes?

Not sure if I missed this before, but the M340i will have a RWD option now?! It's back in the running for me!

G20 is confirmed to use a 48V electrical system

Can someone shed some light on the purpose of the electrical system? Is it there to eliminate turbo lag and bump the M340i to the reported 385hp?

Isn’t it to run more powerful electric motors? electric assist super/turbo induction, suspension motors, stop-start assist

goj · 05-22-2018, 04:59 PM

How far behind the G20 will the next gen M3 be? (G80?)

yco · 05-22-2018, 05:03 PM

its great to hear about new 8 and X7..

- Signifigant improvement in Fuel Efficiency/Emissions Reductions

- Overall Vehicle Weight reduction/Electrical Architecture simplification via lighter, more modular wiring harnesses, as well as fewer and/or smaller batteries

- Allows for additional features to be offered at a much lower cost and across all tiers.

That engine change is going to cause some angst for those who don’t read this thread or otherwise catch wind of it and thus fail to see it coming. The jump from 465hp to 530hp is nothing to scoff at. An upgrade of that magnitude could have made the M3/M4 CS go from “meh” to

. And since the engine will be available this year in the 8 Series, which the X5 and X7 will actually debut a couple months after, an explanation like “the engine wasn’t ready yet” won’t work with most folks. Clearly a shrewdly planned marketing move to keep the engine unique to the M850i for the first year. Not that I’m saying there could be nothing else holding the new engine back from earlier adoption in the other vehicles.

Speaking of all these V8 beasts, when’s the M550i going to get the upgrade?

they can call it a Competition model.... then everyone will be just fine with it.

It's good to hear that the next 3er will have RWD available.

With that being said, I prefer AWD as RWD is useless in any weather that's not 100% dry.

The simple answer is mo' (electrical) power!

How big is that MY19 i3 battery, 60 kWh ?

It's about time.

Ibiza · 05-22-2018, 06:34 PM

The current F85/F86 are rated at 560 hp. With the M50i for the upcoming G05/G06/G07 (1 year market delay is probably due to the release of the G06) at 530hp, would the updated F95/F96 come with F90 ZCP S63 T4 engine at 625 hp?

With the G20 M340 receiving a significant HP bump, M division will have to bump the G80 closer to 500hp. 48 volt system has been rumored for over a year for the G80.

JMAN1111 · 05-22-2018, 06:53 PM

M50i

stein_325i · 05-22-2018, 07:11 PM

What model will the 48v battery be for in the G20 3 series? the M40i?

bjcarls · 05-22-2018, 07:27 PM

In general, everything I read is very good news for power lovers. V8 lovers will like the new 530hp, increases elsewhere. I don't see anything on the horizon from MB or Audi that matches it. Now let's hope handling on the next gen cars equals what enthusiasts want.

If I didn't think it would send you off on a mission to find the originator of the idea (one of your fellow department members), I'd shed a little more light beyond that it went from good design integration for providing necessary functional indications into something that will likely be plain tacky.
