G20/G21 3er

• In production until 02/27 (G20)
• No fully electric models
• 07/24: Another refresh. I don't think BMW will call it "LCI2" but the changes will be noticeable. The interior will get new materials, trims, glass knobs, Iconic Glow kidneys will become available as an option, there will be new wheels. US and Korea will get B48 and B58 TÜ engines (on paper, there will be 7hp bumps for 320i and 330i, and 7hp loss for M340i).

• Will include the electric iX2, same models as iX1. US may end up getting only xDrive28i and M35i xDrive.

G45 X3

• In production 08/24-10/33
• This is the traditional X3 with gas, diesel, and hybrid versions. The full EV role is going to the Neue Klasse. There will still be X3M (G97).
• Potential model names: X3 20, X3 20 xDrive, X3 20d xDrive, X3 30 xDrive, X3 30e xDrive, X3 40d xDrive, X3 M50 xDrive.
• Intro models: Worldwide 30ex, M50x, and two of the non-M gas or diesel (tbd); US 30x and M50x.
• No new engines, making a step up in luxury (standard comfort access, optional Iconic Glow exterior like on the next 5 series, fancier interior materials, driver aids matching the current X5 - also means no L3 autonomy, the best audio is still HK, ID8 dash).
• M50x specifics: standard M Sport suspension (adaptive optional), standard Iconic Glow, 20" wheels, and the usual M interior and exterior parts.

NA5 iX3

• In production 8/25-10/33 in Debrecen (SLP starts with a delay of over a year).

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).

NA7 iX4

• In production 11/26-06/34

G65/G95 X5, iX5, X5M

G79 iXM

• In production 12/28-11/35

I20 iX

• In production until 06/28, LCI in 03/25 with potential drivetrain and battery refresh.
• Motorway Assistant available from 03/23.

MINI F65/F66/F67

• Production start spread out across 8 months:
• 03/24: Worldwide F66 C and S, US F66 S.
• 07/24: Worldwide F65 C and S, US F65 S, US F66 C
• 11/24: Worldwide and US F66 JCW, F67 C, S, and JCW
• C is B38 with 155hp, S is B48 with 200hp, JCW tbd.
• All models in production until 12/30
• Double clutch transmission now standard on all models and I don't see manuals even as options anywhere.
• Panorama roof, climate control, parking assistant also now standard, additional assist systems trickling down from bigger BMWs, a better version of HK audio is optional, available active seats, new iDrive with optional augmented reality navigation and OLED display, JCW styled steering wheel and brakes available on non-JCW cars, adaptive suspension standard on JCW.

MINI U25 Countryman

• In production 11/23-10/30.
• Intro models: worldwide C, S ALL4, JCW.
• 03/24: worldwide D, E, SE ALL4, US S ALL4, JCW.
• 07/24: US SE ALL4.
• Since U25 is basically U11 with a different body, there's a direct equivalency between their trims. D is sDrive18d, C is sDrive20i, S ALL4 is xDrive23i worldwide and xDrive28i in the US, JCW is M35i, E is sDrive20, SE ALL4 is xDrive30.
• Not going to describe packaging and options since those are also very similar to U11, just with MINI specific flair.

EOP dates for the current models not listed above:

F39 X2 - 10/23

G31 5er - 02/24
G32 6GT - 06/24 (US EOP was 06/19)
F40 1er - 06/24
G01 X3 - 07/24
F44 2er - 10/24

G08 X3/iX3 - 04/25
G02 X4 - 11/25
G05/F95 X5/X5M - 07/26
G07 X7 - 07/27
G06/F96 X6/X6M - 03/28

General, non-model specific, and engine notes

• Euro-specific bit of good news: S58 will be EU7 compliant.
• 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.

May 2022

• G20, G21, and G28 will get optional Iconic Glow kidneys in 2024 for MY2025.
• G42 M240i/M240ix will get optional carbon roof, also in 2024.
• Production of G20 has been extended to 06/27 (07/27 for SLP), G21 - 10/27, G22 and G23 - 06/28. The corresponding M models will also remain in production. This is highly unusual, breaking the traditional 7 year model cycle. I will be looking for more confirmation of this but I think the most plausible explanation is the replacement of the 3/4 series as we know it with Neue Klasse based EVs, as mentioned in recent interviews of BMW top managers.

June 2022

• Right on the heels of G81 intro, another bit of happy news for non-US touring fans: G99 M5 Touring is real. If it doesn't die under a beancounter's knife, it'll start production in 11/24.
• Adding SOP for G90
• The primary production plant for Neue Classe cars for the North American market will be SLP. It will start with two models. NA0/NA1 i3 sedan and touring will be successors to G20/G21. NA5 iX3 will be built in parallel with G45 X3 (similar to Mercedes making separate ICE and EV models for the same market segment). All these models will start production in 2027.
• G05/G06/G07 will be succeeded by G65 X5 and iX5, G66 X6 and iX6, G67 X7 and iX7. These will be CLAR based cars, not Neue Klasses, and as such their EV versions will still share the hardware with ICE and hybrid models just like i4 and i7 do today.
• G20/G21: Some kind of a mild cosmetic refresh in 07/24. At the same time, US engines will be brought in line with the new emissions requirements (next year we'll know if that will affect power output). In EU, all diesel engines will be brought to EU7 compliance starting 03/25.
• The first true Level 3 autonomous driving system called "Personal Pilot" will be available on select G6x and G70 models in Europe and China starting in late 2023 on G70 and July 2024 on G6x. I'm not seeing this functionality on US cars yet.
• Two i5 Touring models are confirmed to be offered in the G61 lineup at intro. (G60/G61/G68 section above has been rearranged for clarity).

July 2022

• The new version of the top level transverse B48 (used in FWD M35i cars) will produce 315hp. First appearance in U11 X1 M35i xDrive.
• Manual G29 Z4 (original reporting by BMWBlog) is confirmed. Availability from 03/24.
• Adjustment to G2x timeline: The demise of G20/G21 has been moved to 02/27, while the diesel engine emissions adaptation is now happening in 11/25 instead of 03/25. For G22/G23 that diesel engine change will happen in 03/26.
• I was wrong in my reporting on G99 when I said it was good news for non-US fans. It is actually good news for everyone. I can confirm the US version is also planned. G61 is still not coming.

September 2022
This is a special update with a long list of future models, and their production locations and dates. The list includes very long term future plans, and as such they are highly speculative. There's no guarantee the listed models will even exist at all. This comes from another active forum participant whose search skills significantly exceed mine. I'm breaking it up by model series/platform, including only those with new information. Note that all F and G models are the current architectures with gas, hybrid or pure electric power, all N models are electric only Neue Klasse. Skipping China specific stuff because who cares.

Regular updates

• G2x and G42 will get the glass knobs option in 2024.

October 2022

• The likely changeover from M2 to M2 Competition is 08/24.
• Added the initial model lineup for U10 X2.
• G60 models that will be introduced after the initial release: 11/23: worldwide 530e and 550e xDrive, US 540i xDrive and 550e xDrive; 3/24: worldwide and US i5 xDrive40; 7/24: US M560e.

November 2022

• Added iX1 eDrive20 SOP in 11/23.
• The M2 change in 08/24 is possibly just an engine mod to new emissions standards and not the transition to M2 Comp.
• Added some details about G45 X3 configuration: two US gas models to start (base - no designation known yet, and M50i), no new engines, making a step up in luxury (standard comfort access, Iconic Glow exterior like on the next 5 series, fancier interior materials, driver aids matching the current X5 - also means no L3 autonomy, the best audio is still HK, ID8 dash), M50i also has standard M Sport suspension (adaptive optional), different wheels, and the usual M interior and exterior parts.
• There will be another special M3 model in 2024-2025, either another run of M3 CS (based on LCI2) or something similar. (May 2023 edit: this is actually M4 CS)
• The G90/G99 M5 powertrain will be tuned to 700hp.
• Starting to see specific models that will be available at G61 launch: 520d, 520dx, i5 eDrive40 and M60x.

December 2022

• Very early hints suggest that BMW will use a very Tesla-like approach to the Neue Klasse model range, with differentiation by both range and drive motors. For example, the NA5 (iX3) could consist of a short range RWD model, SR AWD, LR AWD, and M Performance AWD.
• Added production start dates for iX2 eDrive20 and iX1 eDrive25L.

January 2023

• There are strong hints that the RWD M440i G2x will not survive the LCI.
• Added U10 X2 xDrive20d with 03/24 SOP.
• I20 gets an LCI in 03/25, with potential drivetrain and battery refresh.

February 2023

• NC0 is the chassis code of the next i5 (starting production in 2030)
• New paint color on G2x LCI: Dragon Fire Red
• G2x and G42 models will gain multiple new wheel choices in 2024 (March production for G22/G23, July production for G20/G21/G42)
• Introduction dates for Highway Assistant (aka Motorway Assistant) are being constantly shuffled around. The current state of affairs: US G70 - available now, US G05/G06/G07/I20 - March/April production, US G09 - at model intro, G60 (all markets) - at model intro, EU G05/G06/G07/G09/G70/I20 - March/April 2024.
• F74 packaging notes: DCT standard, paddle shifted auto optional (standard on M235i), available (standard on M235i) Adaptive M suspension, 17"-19" wheels (17" on lower end EU versions, all US 18" standard), all US models get HK audio as standard, optional on all models: active seats, interior trim with lighting effects, illuminated kidneys, driver assist features same as other recent lower end BMWs. M235i specific: brakes, some lightweight parts, spoiler, interior and exterior trims.

March 2023

• G22/G23 LCI will bring the TÜ2 engines: 430i gets B48B20O2 with power unchanged from the previous version at 255hp, M440i gets B58B30M2 at 375hp. It is likely that this is a US + South Korea specific change, with other markets continuing with the existing TÜ1 engines. This is clearly an emissions driven change (SK uses US standards). This also suggests that G20/G21/G26 could get the new engines starting with 07/24 production.
• G8x LCI xDrive will get bumped to 525hp.
• Intro lineup for F70: 118d, 120d, 118i, M135i xDrive.
• Production of G29/J29 has been extended by 5 months to 03/26.

May 2023

• Gas powered F70s will be called "118" and "M135" - the "i" is now dropped. It remains to be seen if the same is going to happen with all future models. Watch this space.
• Added U11 X1 sDrive20d for 07/24.
• The next special model in the G8x range will be M4 CS. Virtually the same car as the current M3 CS but with two fewer doors and some headlight changes (no laserlights). In production 07/24-06/25.
• Added more G60/G61 models with SOP 07/24.

June 2023

• Potential G45 models: X3 20, X3 20 xDrive, X3 20d xDrive, X3 30 xDrive, X3 30e xDrive, X3 40d xDrive, X3 M50 xDrive. Note the drop of "i" from the gas models' names and the overall rearrangement of designations.
• L3 autonomy has been dropped from G60. Not clear if this is temporary.
• Potential additional F70 models: 116, 120, 128 xDrive.
• Potential F74 models: 218d, 220d, 216, 218, 223 xDrive, 228, 228 xDrive, M235 xDrive.
• Potential F78 models: 220L, 225L, M235L xDrive.
• MY2025 G20 starting production in 07/24 is getting TÜ2 engines in the US and SK like G22/G23 LCI.

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.

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