G60
In production until 06/30.
11/23: adding worldwide 530e (B48M2+EM, 295hp), 530e xDrive, and 550e xDrive (B58U2+EM, 480hp), US 540i xDrive (B58M2, 370hp) and 550e xDrive.
03/24: adding worldwide and US i5 xDrive40.
07/24: Adding worldwide 540d xDrive (same engine as 740dx) and US M560e xDrive (B58M2+EM, 565hp).
03/25: i5 models refreshed (unknown what exactly will change).

Is the M560e no longer coming to the US?

He has not updated the thread is what I read from it.

I guess he hasn't had the time to update the pipeline thread yet...

I think offering a M560e xDrive (B58M2+EM, 565hp) in the US would likely pull too many sales from the 750e -- bad for business.

That has nothing to do with AWD and everything to do with the driver. RWD posts better skidpad and lateral grip due to less under steer. Unless you were slipping around in snow, the front wheels are irrelevant in any highway setting.

Yes with the driver.
