Even a guy form BMW that I met at a data science conference one time told me that people want more content and engagement on their iDrive screens - even if they don't use it. They have done studies and experiments with touch and non touch screens and non touch screens lead to lower sales etc… Also, touch screens are more cost effective for the manufacturers… Anyway, I don't think we'll see smaller or non touch interfaces any time soon. My 2 cents worth. |

Check out the Brake Calipers @ image #6,...although the Front Caliper looks larger than previous 5-Series,...the Rear Caliper is definitely larger than those on previous 5-Series!

SOP, V8 non-M5?
Hi Folks,
a few questions about the G60 info at the beginning of this thread: * Is SOP really 7/23? For the G30, the presentation was in 10/16, and sales started in 2/17. Does this mean that the G60 is ahead of the normal 7 year schedule? When do you expect it can be bought? * Regarding engines: The Future Models info suggests there will be a 540i - will that include Europe? There are also mentions of 550e and 560e - but how about a V8, like the G70 760i in the US, will there be a V8 gasoline powered 560i (similar to the current M550i)? Or will the only V8 be the new M5? If anyone has any thoughts on this or happens to know anything - please let me know. Thanks |

Not sure about Germany but for the USA, I believe the 530 and i5 (40 and 50) will be released first. Production is probably 7/23. Then the 540 and 560 will be a year later. And no v8 unless you move up to the M5. |

Exactly what I’ve been wondering… maybe they’re delaying to try and push out the last of the G30’s without having to give them away.

Maybe. They’re certainly running out of other stuff to debut.

How can this forum know so much more than dealerships ? LOLOLOL I am going to try and find a good used (2020 or 2021 min year) m550i or m5 to replace my wife's 2018 m550i since the v8 is going away it seems. Last edited by jphcbpa; 02-15-2023 at 11:04 AM.. |

Did you just make that up? Jason needs to confirm before anything is trusted on this forum.

Looks exactly the same, but the 2020 got the updated engine a year before the body upgrades and tech upgrades of the LCI 2021 model.

i5 ship dates?
It sounds like the i5 will be announced in October 2023, does that mean they'll be delivering vehicles by end of year? What is the typical announcement -> delivery timeline like for BMW EVs?
