Future BMW model information

[redlineblog]

The new version of the top level transverse B48 (used in FWD M35i cars) will produce 315hp. First appearance in U11 X1 M35i xDrive.

Is an M135i version of F70 planned for European markets, as per F40? Sharing this 315hp B48, of course.

I'll answer that next year.

Now that the G26 430dx is out as predicted, any chance for a G26 M440d in the foreseeable future?

I don't believe there's anything else besides what I've listed, at least until the LCI.

(This bit of news is dedicated to BMWGirlFL)

TY, 03/24 is SOP for the manual or when it hits dealers? G29 ends production 10/25, so only 1.5 years of production with the manual, or is there a chance G29 production will get extended like G20?

The dates in this thread are usually SOPs, AFAIK.

I'm going to try and start adding interesting colors used for interesting models just like I used to.

Trying to get clarity on this one - manual available in March 2023 (along with LCI) or in March 2024?

Now that the i4 eDrive35 has been announced, which was another correct prediction, any word if the i4 eDrive40 is still planned to switch over to i4 xDrive40 or if a new xDrive40 model will be introduced as 4th option in the MY23 i4 lineup?

xDrive40 is MIA. It did exist but may have fallen victim to some kind of last moment business decision. The US version is the most likely one to have been cancelled or delayed.

Thanks. I can see it launching for MY24 at this point. i4 lineup would then look very similar to the 4-series grand coupe lineup (RWD, AWD, M performance model)

ynguldyn Have you seen anything regarding the new special G82 variant besides the CSL and 3.0 CSL?

No. All I see besides the known models is the refresh of the three mass production G82s that will start production in 03/24.

Got a PM.

ynguldyn Any idea why the laserlight option (5AZ) does not appear on the US pricing list for the 2023 M550? It's a 5 series option overseas.

5AZ has never been available in US market for the G30. In MY21 BMW also removed soft close doors as an option in US market. Why? No idea, but in today's world one could point to supply chain issues?

So the reveals we're still waiting on this year are:
- The XM
- M2
- Z4 LCI
- 3.0 CSL

Any idea how close we are to any of these?
