May 2022
- 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.
- 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.
- Adjustment to G2x timeline: The demise of G20/G21 has been moved to 02/27.
- NC0 is the chassis code of the next i5 (starting production in 2030)
- Potential G50 lineup: worldwide 318, 320, 330, 330e, M350 xDrive; US 330, 330 xDrive, M350 xDrive. Current production plans 11/26-10/34. Note that this overlaps with the production dates of G20, which means one of them is incorrect and will be adjusted (over 3 years until then, plenty of time for changes). Diesel models should show up later - or maybe not at all?
- First shot at clarifying G50 lineup and release schedule: see in G50 section above.
- Next gen Countryman will have platform code NE5 (yes, Neue Klasse), production expected 11/28-10/36.
- The current plans for NCAR M cars, besides the already known ZA0 M3 sedan, include ZA1 M3 Touring, ZA5 iX3M, and ZA7 iX4M.
- End of production changes for US X6: from 03/28 to 12/27
- G90 will be in production until 02/31; not clear if that also means a longer production period for all G60s.
- Planned NA0 (i3) model lineup: 40, 40 xDrive, 50, 50 xDrive, M60 xDrive
- Planned NA7 (iX4) model lineup: 40 xDrive, 50 xDrive, M60 xDrive
- The date conflict between EOP of G20 and SOP of G50 (see July 2023 update) seems to have been resolved: G20 EOP has been adjusted to 10/26.
- Panoramic Vision will not be just for future cars. It will be offered on the models already in production. The first I see is G60/G61/G68/G90/G99, where this interface will become standard in 2027 (possibly coinciding with the LCI).
- In addition to the new interface, in 03/27 G60 will get passenger screen as an option.
- B48 will get its fourth iteration, TÜ3. It could start showing up in 2026, with the US/Korean G45 a likely candidate.
- G45 LCI is currently scheduled for 11/28.
- 2027 appears to be the year when BMW will start moving to the new interface across its whole model range. Besides G60 mentioned earlier, it's now planned for the FWD cars: U06/U10/U11. I'm sure these are just the first lines on a much longer list.
- For many models, their European diesel versions are now scheduled to end production at the end of 2027. This seems to coincide with the transition to EU7. Apparently, BMW won't try to make those diesels compliant and will simply stop making them.
- i3M, i3M Touring, iX3M, iX4M are now in the official plans.
- Planned G67 lineup: X7 40, 40d, M60, Alpina 60, iX7 50, 60, M70, Alpina 100 (all xDrive).
- G84 M3 is alive! For now, it's just a single version. No further details.
- Added i3 20 to the NA0 lineup.
- U06 model range will shrink in 2027 to 218i, 220i, and the hybrids. Production ends in 10/29.
- End of production for F70 and F74 has been set to 10/30. The earlier information of FAAR cars surviving to 2033 appears to have been a placeholder.
- Non-US G06 has been slightly extended from 03/28 to 07/28.
- More European diesel models now have death dates in 2027. An era is coming to an end.
- LCI for U10 and U11 is planned for 07/27. Will get Panoramic Vision.
- A new security related feature will start appearing in 5 and 7 series and Neue Klasse cars in 2026-2027 (i.e. the cars with the new telematics system), could be something similar to Tesla Sentry Mode.
- Production dates for G84 M3: 07/28-10/34.
- G50 will be likely built in Dingolfing. This might seem like a nothingburger but that plant can't really make a lot of cars in addition to the 5/6/7 that have always been its focus. Could this be a reflection of the projected volume for the gas powered 3er?
- Starting in early 2026, the Rosslyn plant will make US G45 (likely X3 30 xDrive) just like it did G01.
- Just like BMW signaled, NA0 and G50 are being designed to look very similar to each other - to the point that they're even sharing wheel options. Though NA0 will likely be considered a bit more upscale. Little details like both will get the fancy multifunction seats but only NA0 will include the massage function.
- Added model range for NB5 iX1 in the main list above.
- Chinese production NK cars will be: NA6 iX3 L, NA8 i3, NB6 iX1 L. Their model ranges are now listed above.
- G70 LCI will get an Alpina derivative that will be done differently from before. There will be a whole range of Alpina 7 series cars: 740, 760, and i7 70. They will have "Alpina" as a part of the model name, and the whole thing even gets its own platform code, G72.
- If you're a biker, you might care about the fact that R 20 will be launched into series production. It will be built around an upsized and evolved version of the R 18 motor.
- New style headlights will appear on M Sport models. They will have some distinctive color elements. Will be available on G50 and G65 first.
- X7 Alpina will also have a separate chassis code, G69. This strongly suggests that we should expect the name Alpina to get a completely different meaning from what it was in the past.
- G60/G61 LCI will adopt the new naming scheme. New i5 lineup - in the main list above.
- BMW will offer autopilot functionality in three tiers: Highway, Highway/City, Highway/City Pro. It's possible they will be subscription based. Will be available in all models with the new vehicle telematics (all Neue Klasse, G65, G70 LCI). North American cars are included.
- The same models will get a 3D HUD. It will be standard on 5 series and up, optional on other models.
- There will be more than one version of M5 sedan and Touring at LCI. Competition? CS? We'll see.
- A whole set of production dates changes:
- F70 and F74 will remain in production for two years longer than previously planned, until 10/32.
- All 840d models are ending production earlier than previously planned, this September.
- G60 LCI is delayed from 03/27 to 07/27.
- G65 will be in production until 07/35 - that's a nine year cycle. G66 and G67 will probably live longer too, I just don't see that in my sources yet.
- Motorcycle news: there's a new motor for liter bikes coming in a couple of years.
- NA0 i3 and ZA0 iM3 configuration details added at the top.
- Clarified NA7 production dates: M60x will have a small delay and go into production four months after the other models in 03/27.
- US G42 M240i gets B58TÜ2 with 08/26 production.
- The M version of iX3 will be called "X3 M" (without the "i")
and will have the same powertrain (but possibly with a different tune) as iX3 M60 xDrive. It will start production in 2027, confirming previous reports by other sources. - BMW Digital Premium (see NA5 details) will expand to the FWD platform (F7x/Uxx) cars in mid-2026.
- EOP adjustments: G45: 11/33->07/32, NA0: 10/34->10/35, NA5: 10/33->10/34, NA6: 04/34->04/35, NA7: 10/34->10/35.
- Correction: the powertrain of X3M will be different from that of iX3 M60. I simply misread the data. Sorry.
- ZA5 X3 M will start production in 11/27.
- The plans for SLP is to make all left hand drive versions of iX3, from 40 to M60x. NA7 iX4, ZA5 X3M and ZA7 X4M (which is still in the plans) will be Debrecen only.
- The hydrogen fuel cell powertrain for the next X5 is not just an experiment. BMW has it in the plans next to the already familiar types of engines and motors.
- An M version of NB0 i1 is under consideration. Obviously the chassis code is ZB0 but will BMW dare to call it M1?
- G22/G23/G82/G83 will be with us for an extra year, until 06/29
- Production of the current MINI models has been extended into the early 2030s. U25 will be produced until 10/33 for the gas models and 10/32 for the EVs.
- These two items suggest slower transition to Neue Klasse replacements than we expected just a year ago.
- G45 M50x will get a powertrain update in 12/26
- The augmented reality glasses idea seems to be dead - the option is gone from all future cars.
- More clarity of NA0 model intros: non-US 50x in 07/26, four months later US 50x and all markets 40x, another four months later all markets M60x.
- Dingolfing production confirmed for G50.
- A long time since I've listed new paint colors: Inspired White and Nomad Blue go to MINIs, BMW gets Le Castellet Blue (Munich) and Grey Pine (Spartanburg).
- Looks like the newer batteries in iX1/iX2 won't change anything in any significant way: the net capacity increases by less than 0.5 kWh, all other major specs stay the same.
- The hydrogen fuel cell G65 will be called "iX5 60H xDrive".
- The general idea of G72 Alpina: take a G70, check all the option boxes available other than the sporty stuff, add custom exterior trim (and wheels of course) and a special interior, and you get the Alpina. Will start production in 07/27 (so, a year after LCI).
- ZA0 M3 and ZA5 X3M will have the same motors.
- I can confirm BMW working on EV versions of G95 X5M and G96 X6M. Can't confirm the ICE versions (but this could be just the lack of data, not the actual absence of those models).
- The motor setup on the full-M EV cars will differ from all other EV models. That is, ZA0, ZA5, G95/G96 will use the same family of motors, though G95/G96 will likely differ in performance from ZA0/ZA5.
- More lifetime extensions for current models: G60/G90 will stay in production until 10/31, G61/G99 - 06/32, G70/G72/G73 - 10/32
- And one model gets killed early: G26 ends production in 02/27.
- NA1 starts production in 07/27.
- There's nothing concrete on the 8 series replacements of any kind, even the things that typically surface 3+ years before production. There's a good chance they're all dead.
- A rough analysis of NCAR/XNF motor and battery offerings for NAx and G65/G95 EVs. No specifications, just an attempt at making sense of what different models mean in terms of their hardware:
- RWD (NAx only): there will be two motors offered: one for 20 models (currently this is NA0 only), the other for 40 models.
- AWD: there will be three classes of motor combinations (sorry if this is confusing). The new iX3 50x is an example of something that we could call middle class. There will be another setup in the same class that will be used on most 40x models. Another class is possibly something less powerful (this one has the most confusing combination of applications, so let's leave it alone for the time being). And then there's the class that will be used on M cars. I mentioned before that M3, X3M/X4M, and X5M/X6M will all use the same motors; now, I can see that iX5 M70 will also use a similar setup, though with different characteristics.
- Batteries: NA5 and NA7 will use two battery types: one that we can see on iX3 50x (will also be used in M60) and something smaller for 40 and 40x. NA0 and NA1 will use the same batteries for the same models, with the exception of 20 and 40 RWD that will have their own batteries, possibly with different chemistry. X3M, and X4M will use the same larger battery as the regular models but the battery used in M3 will be unique. G65/G66/G95/G96 will also use two battery sizes: the smaller one for 50x and the larger one for all other models. The cars made in China will have completely different batteries.
- B58 is getting a new revision, B58TÜ3. It will first show up on G70 LCI 735 (286hp/295lb-ft) and 740 (400hp/400lb-ft) next July.
- Added the colors and interiors for NA0, G50, G60/G61 LCI, and G90/G99 LCI in their sections above.
- New options that will be available on NA5: improved wireless charging tray SOP November 2026; Adaptive M suspension SOP March 2027.
- Added SOP for G65 EV 50x and M70x: 09/27.
- Modified production dates for G67: two more years, up to 07/36. A brief option description has been added.
- NA5 production at SLP will now start in 08/27.
- Level 3 autonomous driving is coming to non-US models starting mid-2028.
- G67 X7 will offer two-tone paints like the current 7 series.
- ZA0 will offer a lightweight roof option after all.
- Corrected SOP for NA8: 01/27, i3 40L as the launch model.
- S68TÜ1 V8 is confirmed for G65 X5 M60x.
- iX3 M60x will use the same battery pack as 50x.
- G22/G23 will get engine updates in 2027 since they'll need to keep going for quite some time after that.
- ZA7 X4 M is confirmed, will start production together with ZA5 X3 M in 11/27.
- NB5 iX1 production is planned for 11/27-10/36. Since there will no longer be any platform difference, expect it to be much closer to the idea of a "baby iX3" that the current X1 is: you'll have a smaller vehicle with a lower range of available power and battery configurations but otherwise it'll deliver a very similar experience.
- It is now becoming clear that the NA1 is not planned for the North American market. (Still, take it with a grain of salt: predicting the things that won't happen is more difficult than those that will).
- Added SOP for NA0 i3 40: 11/27.
- It appears U06 will soldier on, with a somewhat reduced model range, until 10/29.
- Non-US G22/G23 M440ix will get the 294kW B58B30M3 starting with 03/27 production.
- Non-US G42 M240ix will get the 294kW B58B30M3 starting with 04/27 production.
- SLP production of NA0 starts 12/27.
- G95 X5 M EV production starts 04/28. Still not seeing ICE/hybrid models.
- G58 3 LWB will be produced in China from 04/27 to 04/35, starting with 325L and 330L (both B48s).
- G66 X6/iX6 models: 30 xDrive, 40 xDrive, 40d xDrive, M60 xDrive, iX6 50 xDrive, iX6 60 xDrive, iX6 M70 xDrive. So, no hybrids or RWD models.
- G78 iX5 L may get a range extender model. This is the first REX since the old i3 I'm seeing.
- NA5 iX3 M60 xDrive has been delayed to 03/27. A longer story: the M60 had an intermediate version that was supposed to be produced for just 8 months. That version is now gone. The version that was supposed to go into production in 03/27 is now the only one that will be built.
- The "natural fiber" roof has been made standard for ZA0 M3, with sunroof becoming an available option.
- G67/G69 will offer two tone paint like on the 7 series.
- G50: 318: B48B20M3, 115kW/250Nm + 8kW EM; 320: B48B20M3, 155kW/330Nm + 8kW EM, M350x: B58B30M3, 313kW/540Nm + 13kW EM.
- The engine upgrade coming to X3 M50x in 12/26 is the same B58B30M3 setup as G50.
- U10/U11 LCI model lineup: 18, 20, 20x, 20d, 20dx, 28x (US), M40x. "20" will be used for both B38 and B48.
- G42 230i EOP is 12/26
- G50 gets 330e PHEV in 7/27. No US version.
- Added or corrected in the top section the full model lists with release schedule for: G60/G61/G68 LCI, G65, G67/G69, G70/G72 (specifically M760x and Alpinas), NA0@SLP, NA1, NA5@SLP, NA8, NB5
- It appears the first example of an EU7 compliant B57 in a 20d model will be G45. It will be detuned all the way to 205 hp - which is still a bit of a bump compared to B47.
- NB0 i1 model range: 20, 30, 30 xDrive, 40, M50 xDrive
- NA2 i4 model range: 30, 40 xDrive, 50 xDrive, M60 xDrive
- G21, G80, and G81 production extended to 08/27
- I20 ends production for the North American markets in 12/26
- NA0/NA1/NA5/NA7 get ventilated front seats in 11/27, NB5 get them in 03/28
- G51 is confirmed, including a single US model.
- ZA1 production is 03/28-06/35, no US model at this time.
- NB5 additional models: 40 (RWD) is 03/28, while iX1 M50 xDrive will be a very late addition, 11/28
- iX3 40 xDrive vs 40 RWD: +80 kg weight, 123 kW/255 Nm front and 160 kW/345 Nm rear motors instead of a single 235 kW / 500 Nm rear.
- G50 models' specs added to the G50 section above. It's a pig.
- First power specs for ZA0: front axle is 480 kW/540 Nm, rear axle is 560 kW/1020 Nm. What is not known is the combined power - it will definitely NOT be the sum of these numbers.
- iX3 M60 xDrive will have the same front motor as the other iX3 versions, the rear one will be different, producing 307 kW/605 Nm (+67 kW to 50 xDrive).
- Some more info on the unique aspects of Alpina models:
- Paints: As of now, four main colors, white, black, brown, and green, but all have special formulation that adds "emerald mica" tint. Two-tone paints using various combinations of these paints and a few standard ones
- Interiors: all Individual level and merino leather, Smoke White, Amarone, Night Blue/Smoke White, and Bicolor Black.
- No M Sport related options of any kind but the top level adaptive suspension is standard. Alpina-only color gradient glazing available.
- G45 LCI has been delayed to 3/29.
- NA5 iX3 40 and 40x for the US market have been delayed to 3/27.
- G88 M3 Touring is real and is planned for the US too.
- There will be one more version of G87 M2.
- ZB0 is confirmed. The name is still unknown. They'll need to do something with the legacy of the "M1" name. 1M? M2?
- In addition to iX5 50L xDrive REX, iX7 50x REX is also planned. These are likely to be China only and will be released in 2028 or later. They will use a low-power version of B48 for the range extender function.
