Aside form adding the M2 xDrive, are they dropping to 230 and 230 xDrive in the US?

Looks like it. The current versions of the US 230i s/x end production in 12/26. Earlier I expected them to be replaced with the same models using newer B48s but since they still haven't popped up, AND this funny thing has exposed what looks like the full list of 2027 models, I can say with high confidence that those are done. Other markets will keep getting them, which suggests that some combination of volume and Tier 4 compliance (which can probably be done only with B48TÜ3) produced this result.

Full specs for G65 40x, partial specs (differences to known models) for NA5 40 and G70 LCI EVs.

I suspect that the engine specs you listed for the G65 X5 40x are for the US market? 294kW is the most powerful B58 variant I know of. I doubt the EU version with all its emission regulations would allow it to go as high.

Those are the EU specs of a Euro 7 compliant vehicle. The only differences in the US spec are dimensions (a few mm here and there) and weights because US cars have more features as standard.

Thanks for the details! Really surprising considering the 40d power downgrade and taking into consideration BMW doesn't offer the B58 (without hybrid assistance) in the newer G60/G61 in the EU. You would think BMW would only stick to the 50e to get the B58.

Is the new iX1 being planned to be sold here in the US? I remember the last one got pulled last minute.

[twinkode]

I think yes, iX1 will be global/ US available as well.

Will there be a M350e or similar, maybe ECE only?

Just saw a G50 mule with quad exhaust and electrified vehicle stickers, as well as an E license plate.

I doubt it. Unless you live outside Europe, then maybe they will offer the M350i

Does the mild hybrid system qualify for the E plate? Seems like that is the most logical?

Nope, must be a plugin with something like 80+ km of range.

The only G50 that would get that plate is the 330e.

BMW just yesterday communicated that the "design premiere" (=final official photos and specs revealed) of the new NA0 i3 will be on the 18th of March: https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...the-new-bmw-i3

This is almost record-early reveal compared to the SOP of July, usually the majority of official reveals for July SOP have been around May.

I think ynguldyn starts to have the specs as we speak. Personally I expect the range of i3 50 xDrive to be around 900 km.

Any update on the G50 Diesel situation? As far as I know, Euro7 has been watered down and the political landscape in Germany has changed, so maybe BMW has rethought their strategy?

There's nothing.

I really hope that is the case!

[Sudtirol]

I thought there will be no further ICE Touring?

I have not yet seen anything that indicates the existence of a future G88 M3 Touring. Nor the availability in the US. I am pretty sure, even BMW doesnt know yet. But Maybe it's too early to show up in the system.

Good to know. Curios when we will get the first news about this. If they want to start production in 28-29, they need to release their prototypes soon.

What does this mean for the ZA1 in the US? I know ynguldyn said NA1 is doubtful

You also mentioned a G89 SWB M3 (M4?) in another thread. Is there anywhere else we can find this information? G88 makes sense (other than chassis code, why not G85 as there's no G25 to confuse it with) since the Touring exists as the G51, but a G89 seems very questionable without a G52 to match.
