Thank you for these. It looks like ventilated seats are sticking around on all G20 models, but bizarrely only on 2 colors.

Also, doesn't it actually seem like a price cut / no price increase in a way depending on configuration? Like Harmon Kardon is now included in Premium Package whereas it was only stand alone $850 before. Heated seats are standard, and ventilated seats dropped in price.

My CA sent me the Canadian ordering guide.I was interested in the specs because i am planning on ordering the MY25 M340i that is also getting a mild refresh.

Like the US ordering guide I don’t see a listing for the M Sport seats.I was interested in seeing if the M440i coupe is now getting them because i want them for my M340i.The strange thing is that in the US ordering guide it lists the standard sport seats as being option code 481 but the Canadian guide has them as option code ZST.The M Sport seats apparently are option code 781.I don’t see any listing for them in the US or Canadian ordering guide.

The interesting thing is that in the Canadian press release they specifically show the M Sport seats in black with the coral red contrast color.So maybe they are available if you order that selection.BMW Canada hasn’t added the new MY25 M440i Coupe to the build your own page so there isn’t a way to confirm if the seats are actually available.Here is the press release.

Another thing i noticed in the Canadian ordering guide is that it lists specific exhaust info.It almost sounds like BMW may have finally added the exhaust particulate filter for the Canadian market that European cars have had for many years now.Maybe someone can take a look at the info and see what it means.Its in the standard features list.Here is the ordering guide.

Did a quick google search and it looks like it is some kind of particulate filter.This will most likely result in a terrible sounding exhaust.I will probably just order the MY24 now.

I received a quote here in the UK for the new 440i with 5k worth of options, so give or take a 67k car, after 4 years it was only worth 25k lol. Horrendous, so give or take a 60% loss.

Anyone have any idea when the ordering guide will be released in Australia? I can't find any information about when we'll be able to order

Hey everyone, does anyone have an idea when the 2025 M340i configurator will be released? I heard it’s coming with minor interior updates and the new tu2 engine. Was planning on custom ordering one.

I would anticipate probably sometime in June or early July on the BMW USA site, when the new model year production will begin. Sometimes the BMW UK and other European market configurators get the updated model a few weeks before the US site so it could be worth to check there as the time get closer. I'm considering ordering one also.

Thank you for the reply, I was also thinking around that time.

I just placed an order for a 2025 M440i xDrive Coupe. I was disappointed that the ventilated seats only come in two colors (like you mentioned). I ordered the black seats with the red highlights (which is not one of the two that are ventilated).

I was surprised by how many things are included as standard features that are options on other models (e.g., heated steering wheel, wireless charging, eSIM 5G, etc.)
