Future BMW models information

Seems like in Bmw there is no plan to reintroduce xDrive & manual transmission combo anytime soon

If they never did it for the entire G80 run, including special one-off editions, why would they do so now? The ship has sailed and you'd be EXTREMELY lucky to see any more manuals from BMW, period.

What should be there?

I'm not sure. Similar to what's in the G42, G22, G8x sections, I guess.

I now it's too late now, and Porsche followed the same path by discontinuing the stick from the 4S and 4 GTS 992.
But they seem eager to introduce something innovative at every special edition, that's why I still have some hope, even though the price tag may be....just outrageous

The price for a Porsche 911 is twice that of a G80. If you want one of those special edition cars, then get ready to pay $300k after you agree to buy a Macan, Cayenne, and Taycan. It’s a completely different price bracket.

What this means is that the G87 has no more updates. Just going to run out to the production end date as is.

ynguldyn any idea why it takes a year and a half to add ventilated seats that are already in the G45 X3 and LWB iX3?

My guess would be that the ramp-up of the production and the introduction of the M60 are more important

ynguldyn Any further updates on the G50/G51?

1. In the top post, you have G50 and G51 lumped together, but I guess at least the G51 SOP must be distinct and at a later date? Anything specific there?
2. Still nothing about Diesels? 😯

BMW made their choice: volume > manuals. xDrive manual is museum piece now

ynguldyn will there be a second refresh of the G87?

Wagon fans are definitely eating lately."

Wow, finally some news about the upcoming i4 (coupe and cabrio I presume). Hoping we'll start seeing spy photos of the prototypes soon.

• G51 is confirmed, including a single US model.

Great news as an American, but I'm personally not really interested in a 4-cylinder else I'd have just bought the Volvo or Audi options. Any word on if this is the 330 or the M350?

My prediction (not facts, just intuition): no ZA1 for the US, but they'll give us the M350 Touring.

Long shot, but any indication/chance of a functioning sunroof returning to G45 or offered on G50?

The moment you all have been waiting for: motor specs for ZA0.

Awesome. Guess system power will be around the 800hp mark.
Sadly, still no news on a future M4 ZA2. Guess it still takes too long.

The lightest G50 will be 1755 kg??? Are you kidding me Mr. BMW?

ynguldyn Am I reading this right that the iX3 M60 (and presumably the i3 M60) are down on power versus the i4 M60? Looks like 430 kw system power versus 442 kw, assuming both motors are able to put down full power simultaneously.
