There would be just too many models to keep track of. Also, European market releases and updates are more chaotic than the much more straightforward US model years. Finally, I'm in the U.S., which is the only country that matters, right? Right? RIGHT? (Choose your answer wisely, or you'll get some tariffs!)

And as for US being the only country that matters, well, as far as British colonies go, the US has come a long way, but you guys still have a way to go! ![]() Last edited by teaston; 08-03-2018 at 04:32 PM.. |

Dang I am saddened by the loss of the smaller GT model. Looks are subjective, but I really enjoyed the looks of the 3er GT, the praticality of a SUV with none of the drawbacks helped as well. I thought it sold well enough in China to justify it? I thought the rumors slated flr the discontinuation of the GC model not the GT?
I guess a lowered X4 might be the closest option going forward. |

Hey guys,
Just trying to understand the whole end of productive and new model schedule thing better. With the F80 going out of production this year and the new model not being available for a couple of year, does it essentially means that BMW will not be offering M3s during this transition? Thanks

![]() However ... in three years of waiting I've watched the M2 add 150 lbs of mass and I've been teased by a list of CF parts than can be added, but not added by the factory .. ![]() At the current time , I'm highly skeptical of getting an M2 anywhere near 1M curb weight of 3295 ( US spec 3450 for OG M2 and 3600 for M2 " competition ") so I've rather abandoned the hope that an upcoming model will be called. "CSL"' as M2 GTS seems more appropriate. I've Also been advised by forum members that BMW only intends to keep weight ON an M2 CS, CSL, or GTS by slapping a DCT weight penalty transmission on it as the only option. That is Quite shocking of course as we see that Porsche will bring a 911 GT3 manual and likely a Cayman GT4 manual to the US in the next year or so. I imagine that bmw will give the F82 treatment to a 2er and come up with a CS model in DCT trim. Yawn. I would love for them to throw their M2 perf catalog at an M2 , use the M4 GTS suspension setup, and aero and a cage. Leave the cool man OLED lights on the M4 rack along with the water injection setup to keep costs ( and weight ![]() If there is an M2 racing model alongside a true CSL type model , it would be an insane buzz for BMW closing out the F8X M cars. While I've made the jump from the E30 -E46 cars , there are many many old school BMW fans that have not, particularly the E30 M3 crowd, because the racing heritage is lacking. |

Regarding this update for the G01 X3 hybrid, is this saying that xDrive30e is delayed until a MY2020 with an updated engine -OR- that there is still a MY2019 coming out but that it will be updated in MY2020 with a new engine? |

I read that as MY2020 is the first year for the hybrid.

Probably depends on the timing, availability, and transmission choice for me.
