FAQ:

Can you guarantee that all of these models will come to market?
- No.

Can you tell me where you found this info?
- No.

F70 1er hatch

• SOP 07/24
• Not for the US market

F74 2GC

• SOP 11/24

F78 2GC LWB

• SOP early 2025
• China specific model

G42 2er coupe

• In production until 07/29 with LCI in 04/25
• Intro models: worldwide 220d, 220i, M240ix; US 230i, 240ix
• 04/22: Worldwide 230i
• 08/22: Worldwide 218i, M240i; US 230ix, M240i. New instrument panel for all models. Options becoming standard: shift paddles, PDC, shadowline trim. M Sport package Pro will become a new option on M240i.
• Production only at SLP Mexico
  

G87 M2

• Production 12/22-07/29
• Production only at SLP Mexico
• Same S58 as G80/G82 under the hood, tuned to 455hp. RWD - of course.
• Will be available with a manual and an automatic. Most options will be the same as G80/G82, and I don't see much of that decontenting that was done with the original F87 compared with F80/F82. Though ceramic brakes and bucket seats seem to be missing, all the drivetrain and suspension things are the same as G82, and even carbon roof will be an option. The wheels will be 19" front and 20" rear, G87 specific design. The first four months of its production will fall into the "M 50th anniversary" period so expect the initial run to become somewhat collectible. And the new dashboard will be standard from day one.
• G87 M2 Competition will indeed be called "M2 Competition".

U06 2AT

• Not for the US market
• Will introduce the TÜ2 generation of B38/B48/B47 engines.
• Production 11/21-10/30
• Intro models: 218i (B38, auto, 135hp), 220i (B38, 48V, auto, 155hp), 223i (B48, 48V, DCT, 200hp), 218d (B47, DCT, 148hp).
• 03/22: 223ix
• 07/22: 223dx (B47, 48V, 195hp), 225ex (220hp), 230ex (likely still based on B38, 270hp)

G20/G21 3er

• In production until 10/25 (G20) and 06/26 (G21)
• LCI 07/22. Worldwide 318i, 320i, 320ix, 330i, 330ix, M340i (G20 only), M340ix, 320e, 330e, 330ex, 316d, 318d, 320d, 320dx, 330d, 330dx, M340dx, Alpina B3, Alpina D3S; US (G20 only) 330i, 330ix, M340i, M340ix, 330e, 330ex. Will get the new interface package. No engine changes with the exception of Alpina B3 tune to 490hp.
• No fully electric models
• 03/24: likely date for engine refresh (possibly US specific)

G80 M3

• In production until 10/25
• M3 CS: production 07/23 - 02/24, automatic, standard bucket seats, standard new M specific headlights, also lots of carbon things as standard. No power numbers yet.

G81 M3 Touring

• Not for the US market
• Production 11/22-06/26.
• There will be a single model: Comp xDrive. As expected, it will be in LCI configuration (for instance, the new i4 widescreen dash will be standard). As far as I can see, everything that you can have on a G80, will be available on G81.

G28 3er LWB (China)

• BEV models: i3 eDrive35L, i3 eDrive40L. Production starts in 03/22

G22/G23 4er

• In production until 06/27 (G22) and 10/27 (G23) with LCI in 03/24
• 11/21: Worldwide G23 430ix, M440i, M440dx
• 03/23: Will get the new interface package

G82/G83 M4

• In production until 06/27 (G82) and 10/27 (G83)
• G82 M4 CSL: production 07/22-02/23. 540hp, RWD, automatic. New wheels: 19"/20" with your choice of regular sport or track-focused tires. M racing bucket seats standard, with regular bucket seats optional. Introducing special new M headlights as an option. Lots of carbon bits. Alcantara steering wheel

G26 4GC

• In production until 06/28 with LCI in 07/24
• 11/21: Worldwide and US i4 eDrive40, i4 M50
• 03/22: Worldwide 430ix and Alpina B4 (based on M440ix), US 430ix
• 07/22: Worldwide 430dx and M440i, US M440i

• 03/23: ICE G26 models get the new interface package
• A dual-motor non-M i4 is planned: i4 xDrive40

G60/G61/G68 5er

• G60 in production 07/23-06/30. G61 SOP 03/24
• Intro models: a couple of ICE models (likely lower end like 530i) and two i5 EVs, including i5 M50.
• Lineup: heavy emphasis on BEV, with models like i5 eDrive40, i5 xDrive40, and i5 M50. More models will be known later.
• G60 expected gasoline powered models: 530i (B48M2, 270hp), 540i (B58M2, 370hp), 530e (B48M2+EM), 545e (B58U2+EM, ~350hp), 550e (B58M2+EM, ~450hp)
• i5 Touring is highly likely
• Notable features: interior with more glass and metal in the trim, Iconic Glow grows from a simple grille accent into a complete "package", optional Motorway Assist (same L3 system we'll first see on G70), HK audio standard with B&W as option; i5 M50 adds standard adaptive suspension (with another, even better setup as an option) and M trim.

G70 7er

• Will introduce the TÜ2 generation of B58 engine.
• Production 07/22-06/29 with LCI in 03/26
• Intro models: worldwide 735i (B58U2, 270hp), 740i (B58M2, 370hp), 750ix (S68, 535hp), i7 xDrive50 (480hp), possibly others; US 740i, 750ix, i7 xDrive50.
• 750ix is interesting in that it doesn't have an M in its name but will be offered with the usual list of M Performance parts (steering wheel, body bits, suspension, etc.) as standard.
• Standard air suspension, soft close doors, B&W audio. Notable options:
  • Choice of M Sport or Luxury interior and exterior design
  • Fully automatic doors like in the new Phantom
  • Sky Lounge roof
  • Totally new headlights, with the same "Iconic Glow" designation as the X6 grille. That grille will be available too of course.
  • Rear seats equal in comfort to the front ones (heating/ventilation, massaging) in Executive Lounge configuration, plus rear entertainment that's better than the old "shut up, here's an iPad screen in the headrest for you".
  • Same "Natural Interaction" thing as in iX.
  • Even more better version of B&W audio.
  • A new driver assist package called "Motorway assistant".
  • A whole bunch of BMW Individual customizations.
• 11/22: additional models TBD
• 07/23: Worldwide and US 740ix, i7 M60.
• Compared to the regular 7 series, i7 M60 includes as standard 21" wheels, active steering, multifunction seats throughout the cabin, the usual M trim pieces inside and outside, and a model-exclusive M performance package option.
• Possible additional models: 735d, 745e (B58U2+EM, ~350hp), M750e (B58M2+EM, ~450hp), i7 eDrive45, i7 M60

G14/G15/G16 8er and F91/F92/F93 M8

• In production until 10/25 (G15, F91, F92, F93) and 06/26 (G14 and G16)
• Will be upcontented in 03/22, with a bunch of things that are currently extra cost options becoming standard. This will include making M Sport standard on all 840i and 840d models and some new wheels. M850i will gain a new "M Performance" option so there will still be something to distinguish it from the lower models. This is possibly the closest to an LCI these cars will get.

U11 X1

• Production 07/22-06/29
• Same refreshed engines as U06
• Intro models: Worldwide sDrive18i (135hp), sDrive20i, xDrive20i, sDrive18d, xDrive23d (195hp); US xDrive28i (240hp).
• 11/22: additional models, including iX1 xDrive30 (270hp), tbd.
• 07/23: worldwide and US X1 M35i
• The other electric model will be iX1 eDrive20.

U10 X2

• SOP 11/23
• Will include the electric iX2, same models as iX1

G45 X3

• SOP 08/24
• Will be available with all types of drivetrains but will focus on electric motors and hybrids. There will still be X3M (G97).

G46 X4

• SOP 12/25
• Will be available with all types of drivetrains but will focus on electric motors and hybrids. There will still be X4M (G98).

G05 X5/G06 X6/F95 X5M/F96 X6M

• In production until 07/26 (G05, F95) and 03/27 (G06, F96)
• LCI in 04/23. Models likely almost the same as now, with X6 sDrive40i dropped at least in the US. Will get the refreshed B58 and the new S68 engines. M package becomes standard on X6. Ambient Air and Acoustic Glazing will be available; X5 will have the illuminated grill like X6 does now.
  

G07 X7

• In production until 11/27
• LCI in 08/22. Will get the refreshed B57, B58 and the new S68 engines. The lineup remains the same as now. All models will get the 48V system. The new dashboard is making an appearance.

G09 XM

• Production: 12/22-11/27
• Expected model lineup: a 45e hybrid and two different gas engines.
• 650hp, likely with S58 used in a hybrid setup for the first time, seems to be the only model that will be offered at intro.
• Notable standard M equipment: diff, dark blue sport brakes (can choose red or black as options), seats, seat belts, carbon fiber trim. It'll get next level driving assist in mid-2023. Wheel options go from 21" all the way to 23".

I20 iX

• In production until 06/28
• 11/21: US xDrive50
• 03/22: Worldwide M60 (590hp); US xDrive40 and M60. M60 will have 21" wheels, Active Steering and air suspension as standard.

General, non-model specific, and engine notes

• Display Key will be made available for more models starting this fall.
• BMW is planning to have designs celebrating 50 years of M GmbH for multiple models with production dates between March 2022 and March 2023.
• Something is happening with the autonomous driving efforts: the "Fully Autonomous Driving" feature no longer has an intro date, and "Personal CoPilot" is now delayed by two years.
• Euro-specific bit of good news: S58 will be EU7 compliant.
• There are plans to have a permanent decontenting on lower models' seats: offering lumbar support and backseat width adjustment as an option only for the driver. Likely to begin with MY2023 cars.
• Current state of availability of the next level driver assist package ("Motorway Assistant"): G70 at intro; G05/G06/G07 from April 2023.
• The next 8 cylinder M motor is going to be called S68. Most likely, it will be an evolution of N63 with the 48V mild hybrid system.
• BMW is planning to offer the largest battery among all BEVs on the market at 120kWh. It will go into the model that we haven't seen yet, and I'm not yet going to speculate on the car itself.
• B58 TÜ2 details (this is not my original research but copied from another thread that has flown under the radar, I'll link to it if the OP allows it): 375hp in all currently known applications (G05, G06, G07, G70). The extra power in the M level engine (B58B30M2) comes from a completely reworked intake manifold and a larger turbo. The two port exhaust manifold of the M1 remains in place. Notably (this is my own info again), there are still no traces of the O2 engine - could it be because the O level is being phased out with M level's output now being almost equal?

August 2021

• G20/G21 refresh is disappointing. Yes, it will have the new dash and some exterior and interior changes. However, the powertrains will remain the same across the board, with the lonely (and pretty much irrelevant) exception of Euro-only Alpina B3 bumping the power to 490hp. The expected engine refresh for non-hybrid US models is now March 2024.
• The models for G20/G21 LCI and two new G26 models are now in the top list.
• U06 (2 Series Active Tourer) will add the 270hp 230e xDrive model to the lineup in July 2022 (still not for the US). With all the M options available for this model, it'll be anything but a boring family van. Another model slated for the same time is 223d xDrive with 195hp (TÜ2 revision of B47).
• G07 LCI is second after G70 in getting the new TÜ2 iteration of B58 in xDrive40i. The power gets bumped to 375hp. The lineup also includes xDrive40d for other parts of the world (the TÜ3 revision of B57), M50i and Alpina XB7. The last two are the real puzzles. We're used to seeing S engines only in proper M cars but these models are going to get the brand new S68. Stranger still, the output remains at 523hp and 612hp as today. All models will get the 48V system. Oh, and the new dashboard is making an appearance, of course.
• B58 TÜ2 details (this is not my original research but copied from another thread that has flown under the radar, I'll link to it if the OP allows it): the extra power in the M level engine (B58B30M2) comes from a completely reworked intake manifold and a larger turbo. The two port exhaust manifold of the M1 remains in place. Notably (this is my own info again), there are still no traces of the O2 engine - could it be because the O level is being phased out with M level's output now being almost equal?
• The new engine will find its way into G05 and G06 starting with April 2023 production.
• i4 eDrive35 will launch in November 2022. Notably, its US version is not planned to have any M package options - your loaners and barebones leases off the dealer lot don't need those, right?
• G70 US launch models: 740i (B58TÜ2, 370hp), 750i xDrive (S68, 535hp), i7 xDrive50 (480hp). 750ix is interesting in that it doesn't have an M in its name but will be offered with the usual list of M Performance parts (steering wheel, body bits, suspension, etc.) as standard.
• Current state of availability of the next level driver assist package ("Motorway Assistant"): G70 at intro; G05/G06/G07 from April 2023.
• Other changes in G05/G06 LCI besides the refreshed engines and driver assist: X6 sDrive40i seems to be dead; X6 will have most of the ZMP package pieces as standard; Ambient Air and Acoustic Glazing will be available; X5 will have the illuminated grill like X6 does now.
• EOP adjustments:
  • F39: 02/24 -> 10/23
  • G01: 10/24 -> 07/24
  • G02: 06/25 -> 10/25 (now we'll have more than a year between next-gen X3 and X4)
  • G07: 07/25 -> 11/27 (aligns with G09)
  • G14: 06/25 -> 06/26
  • G15: 06/25 -> 10/25
  • G16: 06/25 -> 06/26 (I'm surprised - most of 8 series tech will feel ancient in '26)
  • I missed listing the M8 EOP as a separate item. It's actually different from the base models: all M8s will be done by 10/25.
• 218i (non-US), RWD M240i, and AWD 230ix confirmed for production starting 08/22.
• One more G70 model at launch: 735i (not US). Will introduce the B58B30U2 engine, a version detuned all the way to 270hp.
• G8x will get a new exhaust for EU7 compliance. Does that mean power reduction?

October 2021

• The replacement for the current 1er F40 and 2GC F44 will be again a five door hatchback (code F70) and a four door GC (F74). But there's a twist: they will be joined in 2025 by the likely China-specific Tiexi-produced 2GC LWB (F78).
• Likely nomenclature for PHEV G70 and G60: the 45e models will be based on the detuned B58 U2 version (270hp from the engine and likely something close to 100hp from the EM), the 50e models will use the M2 version of B58, adding another 100hp. This is an estimate, not a precise number, but should be pretty close.
• G60 expected gasoline powered models: 530i (B48M2), 540i (B58M2), 530e (B48M2+EM), 545e (B58U2+EM), 550e (B58M2+EM)
• G87 M2 Competition will indeed be called "M2 Competition".
• An i5 Touring is highly likely.
• A dual-motor non-M i4 is planned
• Another genius "option": the new dashboard will be available with the touch screen function disabled. Will be seen first in the 2023 G42.
• i7 M60: SOP 07/23. Compared to the regular 7 series, it includes as standard 21" wheels, active steering, multifunction seats throughout the cabin, the usual M trim pieces inside and outside, and a model-exclusive M performance package option.
• G60 features: interior with more glass and metal in the trim, Iconic Glow grows from a simple grille accent into a complete "package", optional Motorway Assist (same L3 system we'll first see on G70), HK audio standard with B&W as option; i5 M50 adds standard adaptive suspension (with another, even better setup as an option) and M trim.
• G60 intro lineup for July 2023 will consist of a couple of gas powered models and two i5 EVs, including M50.
• G87 power output: 455hp. RWD confirmed.
• G09 XM: 650hp, likely with S58 used in a hybrid setup for the first time. This seems to be the only model that will be offered at intro an year from now.
• Racing bucket seats are now standard on M4 CSL while the regular buckets (less hardcore, with power adjustments) have become an option.

Will it get the "pure version" of the S58 or a further upgraded B58?

You think too well of me if you expect me to know this kind of detail about a car that's still almost 4 years away.

Happy to hear that it actually is planned to exist.

Lol at the gnashing of teeth.. will they B58 or S58 ..

It seems very reasonable given the G42 doesn't arrive until mid 2021. For the M to come a year and half after the Series model isn't bad at all.

It will be interesting to see how the possibility of a new M240i plays out with your previous comments (in July 2018) that the G42 may only get the B48. Of course that could have changed now, but it seems to me that a high output B48, let's say ~350hp, would make sense for a neo-M240i. It would be lighter than the I6. And maybe by 2022, B58 models will have adopted the *45i and M*45i moniker, opening up M*40i for use with the B48.

Somewhat surprising update about X3 and X4: their lives have been extended by a year.

Interesting. And we have confirmed that ID7 is coming to both (including M variants) starting aug19?

Actually, I'm not sure about the exact timing of this anymore. Regular X3s and X4s - definitely mid-2019. But M variants could continue using the existing system until early 2020.

My problem is I have conflicting information and don't know which source to trust.

Understood.

Very interested in this! Anything you can share, now in the future, about the car or even when or where it will be announced, would be much appreciated.

i find it funny the x3 became the click bait title and not

"NEXT GEN M2 TO BE MADE IN MEXICO" so it limits the complaining

First news about the next (G87) M2: production 12/2022-03/2029, likely in Mexico.

This is great! The wait time between build complete to delivery to the USA will be much shorter. No need to check R&R shipping companies' web sites and watch the ships travel across the ocean and canal on map web sites.

[John-M007]

Does the M550 in the US for 2020 will get the new 535hp engine?

This was part of the fun of ordering one, at least for me...

Immediately caught my eye!
