It will very likely be late May. There are some people here who will and have argued that is not true though... or maybe it's one person.

compared to what MB just released for the E class, it won't be a high bar to cross

Relative to what it’s proceeding, I thought they did a good job. If you’re an E class buyer, you probably dig it. Hoping BMW does something similar, in relation to the G30

Are there any updates on normal, gasoline power plants ?
Haven't seen anything since the initial post, and everything lately is "I5" stuff Wondering if top non-M5 will have V8 or hybrid I6 |

I think production will start this summer, so we should see them in person by early/mid fall, I would think.

Well they are building the last g30 now , some people on these forums waiting for theirs are are just being built. I guess dingolfing is getting everything set up to start priding the production cars. I wonder how many preproduction cars are existence, presumably quite a few as they will some for photography for brochures.
Must be a interesting industry to be in. Even though I decided against a g60 for several reasons and go for a g30 m550 , I’m still very interested to see one in the metal. With the possible exception of the e60, the fives have always been great cars so the g60 has a lot to live up to. I also wonder if anyone has already test driven a preproduction car without all the camouflage on for a review and currently under a NDA.? |

So test drives only in camo and likely stationary parked vehicles in factory, or r&d/design facilities with no camo. It’s got to be under security. Quote:
Hoping we will hear all available engine variants and their release date worldwide in May, that would help a lot of us plan. If it’s only focused on i5, the confirmation on the gasoline engines will likely wait until later date. Perhaps someone knows what’s to be announced!

probably a lot of fake noise being pumped in but you can hear the m760e engine in action here:
if you are tired of hearing the engine you can change it to a symphony noise around the 4:40 mark |
