FAQ:

Can you guarantee that all of these models will come to market?
- No.

Can you tell me where you found this info?
- No.

This cracks me up everytime

Yup... no Wagon for us. Not even a special order.

That pretty much dumps any redeeming qualities of the G8x.

Maybe BMW gets the idea that the wagon (like the convertible) should only be available as Competition AWD world-wide, then at least the 6MT wagon lovers from the US won't be too sad.

Any updates on G15 and G29 LCI SOP?

Sounds like the X8 hasn't died on the design table, during the COVID crisis. Thought it might.

X8 lives. The first fully stand alone BMWM car in this era.

This truly shows that Albert Biernmann was right when he said M stands for ///Marketing.

M GmbH 2020: We will have a standalone M car and it will be a 5500lbs SUV.

M GmbH 2000: burns the office to the ground and drives into the sunset in his clown shoe.

Still holds?
G31 530e was pushed to Nov, 520e SOP at the same time?
(I know I've asked before, trying to time my next car...)

Sorry if this has been asked and answered. I couldn't find it. I know the base M3 (G80) and M4 (G82) will come with 6MT standard for RWD. I also have read that the M4 will come in a convertible (G83) and a Gran Coupe (G84?). Will the Gran Coupe and convertible be available with the manual?

No, there is no indication that will happen.

Will the ... convertible be available with the manual?

No, the convertible is AWD / AT only.

Can we reasonably expect G05 X5 LCI as MY22? Would iNext or iX5 have any impact on LCI roadmap?

Most likely will be MY23, as LCI tends to happen for the 5th production year. Doubt the i-models will impact it at all.

If they don't manage to build the iX5 on the current architecture (i.e., not another iX3), they might pull another no-LCI cycle to fast-track the iX5. There's no indication of that happening so far though, AFAIK.

I doubt it, base on ynguldyn info it sounds like the the iNext is being positioned at the x5 level.

For customers at that price level (at least for the time being as Evs continue to ramp) consumers will likely prefer a stand out unique vehicle vs a "plain" X5. It will make more sense to take the learnings from that program and incorporate into a next gen x5 on the usual lifecycle.

Yeah, I was thrown off by the iX5 and took it at face value, but now I realize that is what the german press likes to call the iNext, so I also doubt there will be a proper iX5 soon (unless they rebrand the iNext to it at the last minute, but then it won't have anything to do with the current X5)

Still excited for the X8. Just don't think I can hold off my own purchase until it comes out, independent of the potential to be able to afford it.
