I saw the 2025 M440i GC in CYG in person today AND verified that the engine does not only have the M badge, but it’s larger and more prominent from the 2024 model.

The car I saw, like the one I ordered had the shadow line package as well as adaptive suspension, just missing the HP wheels option. Wondering if that’s what keys the add’l M badge?

[MM70]

I think the dissemination is the 2025 M440i coupe and the 2025 M440i GC

Here are some pics of the 2025 M440i coupe with Shadowline and Adaptive M w/o the M badge on the engine.

I wanted to see the Coupe and test my theory, but there are not a lot of these cars on lots yet. The dealership I went to today had one, the car I posted earlier. It was a GC and had the M badge on the engine.

That's so weird that the coupe doesn't have it. Thx for sharing!

I have a 2025 M440i Coupe and can confirm that there is no M-badging on the engine cover.

Should be 9-10%

so GC has the M badge on the engine and Coupe doesn't?

Thought your old post said (the car you passed on was GC 4-door and missing the engine badge?

Very nice color btw CYG.

Another qns. does the new GC steering you saw has Red center marking on it..like showing in the below video. I was at my local BMW center today to get X5 steering wheel offcentering fixed and checked in the system. They have 4-5 GC in the transit but nothing on the lot. so couldn't see it today.

[QUOTE=leasehackr;31409593]so GC has the M badge on the engine and Coupe doesn't?

Yes, that's what I believe is going on. I saw the 2025 GC with badging and have seen numerous videos of the Coupe missing the engine badge.

I read this post on here and it specifically says GC, so I'm wondering if the GC's LCI is a bit different?

No, I said I passed on it for different options. It showed in the pictures online and I went in person yesterday to see the color live and confirm the engine badging.

Very nice color btw CYG.

TY, it's better in person!!

Another qns. does the new GC steering you saw has Red center marking on it..like showing in the below video.

Yes it does with the M 3 color leather stitching as well

Ok, thanks. yeah seem strange GC has M badging on engine and Coupe doesn't. Even though both are M440i

Going with xDrive now. Just rebuild it. WIll be submitting order over the weekend after checking with pricing guides.

Wanted to add ventilated or heated seats but it's adding leather seats for additional 1500. Sensatec is more than enough. Have it on 24 LCI X5.

QQ- since you saw 2025 M440i GC in person, how is the rear seat space and entry/exit? Do you have to lower your head while entering or exiting the car from the passenger seat?
Replacing 2021 530i which has higher clearance on the passenger side.

Even though the primary driver for the new M440i will be my Son (21y), others will be sitting in the rear seats occasionally.

I have ventilated seats on my 540 now and love the option. It's only available with leather (and only 3 of the leather colors), so it's basically a 2K add on when you add the two, but I think worth it. I'm planning on keeping this car as my sports car and buying something else down the road in a few years.

Rear seat room was fine for me (5'8 160lbs) an my GF 5'3 petite.

My deceased wife was always concerned about back seat space for "others", but it was just us 98% of the time. I'm not buying cars for others anymore

Let me know if you can get your number on this model. Pretty hot car and brand new re-fresh. No one has them, but if you do, I'll store that info for next time.

Military salute is for immediate family members. My 93 yr old dad served in Korea in 1951 and that allowed me to save $2500

Yes correct adding 2k more that will be 60+ on my lease monthly. Will pass on this since I always lease.

Will do, have good relations with the GM directly
I'm in PNW, happy to connect with the GM if needed

Noticed there is no option to order space spare with all season tires.

Only 2VC Mobility kit

According to my dealer, it's a law in MA that you have to have a spare tire for cars with NRF's. I'm sure BMW can figure that one out

[hrf]

Spare tire kit only comes with all season tires, rf and sport cooling package takes spare tire out in US

Yes, that is the case with X5 LCI, at least, as I just got All Season on X5 and could add space spare for 200ish.

But there is nothing in the ordering guide for 4er.

Tracking on mygarage only.

I work with GM directly, so he knows about the discount

since it is too far before delivery, I use the best MF/RV from 3 months lock one week before delivery and send him lease calculator screenshot.


This is what I use, there is a forum on how to use it.

My last four cars were black, black, white, and white so I decided to go a completely different route this time. I went back and forth with the wheel option and ultimately decided on the bicolor for the added depth and detail. I also like the blue trim on the headlight and brake caliper to match with the Brooklyn grey color.

The DAPP I couldn’t decide if I wanted/needed it but made the decision to add it at the last minute. I think I would rather have it and not need it than not have it and want it.

Do your wheels rims have M badging?
