Hi all,

I would love to know what the exact date of the future G20 M340i's SOP (start of production) is? If not that, then what model year will it be launched as?

I've been looking everywhere online and I've read every forum involving the G20 release. All I've been able to find is two SOP dates, which might show that there is no definite date as of now. People could be just predicting these dates based on BMW's past patterns. Or they might have these dates because one of their friends, who works at BMW, gave away some insider information? Below are the two different G20 SOP dates that I've read about:

1) July of 2018
2) November of 2018 (since the F30's EOP (end of production) is supposedly October of 2018)

Also, I've heard from many that it's being released as a MY2019 model. Is that true? That would make the most sense to me since the F30 has been out for enough years and competition in this market segment is surely heating up. In terms of the 3-series, BMW needs to spice things up as soon as possible (not that the F30 is a bad car. It's an amazing car, but still has room for improvement).

Please let me know what you guys think and whether or not any of the above dates are correct. I would greatly appreciate it! Also, are any of you in the situation of waiting for the G20? If you don't mind, please let me know what your plans are and what else you know! I'd greatly appreciate that as well.

Thank you!

You may want to start with this thread. Probably the most reliable info on the web is right here: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=901686

Most likely, the G20 SOP will be November 2018, but you likely won't see any cars stateside until early 2019. Also, production of the M340 may lag by a few months. All of that would follow the timing of the G30 5 Series introduction. The G20 will definitely be introduced as a MY19. If the production of the M340 lags by a few months, it may start as a MY20. Again that would follow the timing and model year designations of the new 5er.

If you're considering a G20 M340, you most likely have a two year wait from right now.

Probably Q1 2019 we will see the first G20s stateside as a 2019 model

I think its a 2 year wait also. maybe you can wait till the H30 comes out in 2027 it will be better and its not much longer of a wait lol

Get a one or two year lease if you want the next version.

My F30 lease is up in 2.5 years. Should I try to order a G20 M340 now?! Lol.
