This means that the changes to MY2020 will be at least:

- 30% increase in battery capacity
- xDrive available for Eurpoe
- Live cockpit (new dash)

That's a decent upgrade for a non-facelift MY refresh.

If anyone was interested the above mentioned was just confirmed at the Geneva motor show. New battery pack will be 12 kWh and from 7/19 (MY20) you will be able to order xDrive as well.

Do you guys know if BMW plans a 545e version at any point for the G30? With the same drivetrain setup as the X5 45e and the 745e?

The plans are there, but I can't confirm if/when it'll come to market.

Cool, thanks. That would be a very interesting car indeed

It could even become an M545e. As the first M Performance Electrified Vehicle.

Interesting, I would have thought it would be the M550e so you have a 50i and 50d option - that would all line up quite nicely.

Would it be the same basic drivetrain as the 745e but with a bit more turbo boost?

They throw away the biggest charm point of 1 series in the hatchback segment..

DarkstarZero · 03-10-2019, 06:45 PM

So no M2 CSL? That's sad

Hi ynguldyn, in this article autocar talks about a 130i with 261 bhp :

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/n...riant-detailed

Do you have any information about that ?

Thanks

Best regards

Launch models will be 116d, 118d, 120d, 118i, and M135i. Others will likely appear later, but nothing like what you've described.

Looks like Autocar have bad information and no common sense. An M135d with 228 bhp, riiiight.

The 130i engine numbers autocar references sound like the numbers being thrown around for the new FWD Mini JCWs. The F56s replacement is less than 2 years out at this point, have you seen anything for it?

Shaping up quite nicely.

Any idea when we'll see a hybrid F40, and what the specs will be?

G4BR13L · 03-15-2019, 04:58 PM

Is the 06/20 EOP for the F82 M4 correct? The new G82 M4 won’t be available until 2021 so that would mean no M4 for almost a year.

Yes it is correct. There is always a gap in production from one generation of M vehicle to the next. In fact the M3 and X5 M are on hiatus right now, awaiting the next generation models to be ready.

It's exactly two years - March 2021 is when the replacement will come. And this is right about when I can usually get the first hints of what it will be. So hopefully I'll have some news within the next 2-3 months.
