Thanks! Do you know when they update the online configurator for the new M4 colors and options by any chance?

I haven't heard of any new colors for the M3/M4. I'd assume the reveal of the LCI should be this month followed by the site builder update in February.

Thanks! I am surprised the frozen grey is offered on M3 and not on M4.

They can still add it in 2026. That color looks like a luxury sedan, less than a compact sports car. Yet it may look great on an M2. People are strange. Some order Frozen Orange. It's better to have choices than to have Henry Ford's palette of available colors.

Dravit is a great color. It’s one you need to see in person to appreciate.

Anyone knows when the new X2 version will hit the US dealerships?

Dealers already have their HEA cars in transit. They should be arriving to dealers by the end of this month unless BMW decides to hold them.

I have been holding off since last summer on buying a used 2018-2022 X2 until the new X comes out. I did not see a lot of selection, probably because many current owners are also waiting for the new model X2 to arrive before trading in. The price for a used 2018-2022 is not bad now, but I hope not only that after the new X2 is here more older X2's will be available to pick from, but also that the price may dip lower fast since there was no new X2 supply for over a year.


Makes sense? Or false strategy? When this year should I try to swoop down for a first gen X2?

It is great, definitely. I've seen it on an M4. Changes hue dramatically depending on the light conditions. Also, gold flakes are very sparkly in direct sunlight. Exudes luxury

My M550 is Champaign Quartz Metallic (now renamed Alvite Gray Metallic I believe). It has the same dramatic changes in hue and sometimes can even look Dravit.

There are no new details in the thread because there are actually no new details with that LCI. At least none that would be important enough and not obvious from the LCIs of other G2x models.

This thread is long enough already and doesn't need various personal tangents, please.

G22 LCI should be in production since March and it was still not revealed?

G20 LCI was presented two months prior to start of production.

Bmw made both. As far as i can remember, BMW called the shots as in set out the dev framework for T to work in

The G20 LCI was presented 5-6 weeks prior to start of production, like always.

I'm pretty sure the same will be true for the G22 LCI; none of the other March press releases have gone out, either.
