Future BMW model information

Max from TopNL claims in his M3 CS review (at 17:17) that there will be a M3 CS Touring as well, anything on your radar about that?

He's likely wrong.

PY00 · 06-28-2023, 07:30 PM

ynguldyn For the G87 cosmetic changes coming 8/24, will this include an updated steering wheel (similar to G60 530i with M Sport and X1 M35i)?

ramparts · 07-10-2023, 05:15 AM

@ynguldyn, any info on when(or even if!) G2x/G8x will get idrive 8.5 (MGU_22 headunit)

You're asking me when a specific model will get a specific part. My crystal ball is not that good.

No worries, thank you anyway

My guess will be July 2024 with the new MY updates ( ties in with previous things such as the move to idrive 8 )

There should be a small update for BMW Individual paints range from autumn this year. These will not be available for Spartanburg plant (yet?).

448 - Laguna Seca Blue
C7P - Frozen Black II
P5W - Miami Blue uni
P6U - Grigio Medio uni
P72 - Light Green / Birch Green uni
P9Y - Frozen Urban Green

Wow...frozen laguna seca is newer right? I've not seen that. It would be cool on the M2.

Did you mix two colors together? There is Laguna Seca Blue but no frozen laguna seca blue.

also LSB was offered on Z3 M Roadster and M Coupe in 01-02 so not new.

This (G81 LCI) information is missing from the top post, by the way.

@ynguldyn may i know whether the upcoming F74 gran coupe in 2025 will still feature the rotary dial in the centre control ? Also whether it will most likely just look like a M135i Sedan. As there are some picture leaks a couple of weeks ago about it. it does look abit like it under the camouflage.

Am actually contemplating whether to wait for the new F74 or get the current 218i gran coupe m sport.

Thank you !

V-Eight · 07-25-2023, 07:53 AM

looking at the first page, and as far as G50 is concerned......sad to read that no more L6 for the Mlite versions (Ex M340i/d).
The only L6 will be (maybe) the S58 for M3 at this point??????

You misread. There will be M350.

ChittyChittyBangBang · 07-25-2023, 11:05 PM

So the i5 seems to have only two models so far. One is just rear wheel drive (not workable for me in the upper tundra). The other AWD model is a fairly pricy M version.

It seems that over time more AWD (well X Drive) models will be coming out. Any thoughts?

My wife loves her 2018 X5 40i xdrive and I am starting to look at follow on options. I also gather there will be an equivalent to the X5 50e in the five series, correct? Any thoughts on timing for new i5 models and 5 series plug in hybrid models?

This is answered in the top post.

ChittyChittyBangBang · 07-25-2023, 11:32 PM

So the model for next year will be BMW i5 xDrive40? I gather details are sparse but it looks like similar specs to the i4 equivalent. Any other comments?

Any idea why BMW is dropping the ‘i’ from the model designations for the gas cars? It does sound quite inconsistent (diesel having the ‘d’ designation but none for the gas ones) and sounds very easy for the average joe who doesn’t know much about BMW models to confuse it with the EV models

Because it’s confusing to people when their electric cars are also i

i5M50
m550i

Are the same but in a different order, one being electric the other being a v8.

Personally I wish they would have gone with e5, e7 etc but hey ho

Yeah....but with a 4 cilynder engine. The M135, x1 M35 and X2 M35 will have a 4 pot....

So I assume that also the M350 will have an hybrid 4 cil. engine.

A 6 pot should be named "40" as of today.

M350 will still be 6 cylinder
