Sorry bub, it's going to be about 2300 more for the same configuration, oh and by the way, you can't get the Tartufo you really wanted. Oh, and Cognac is #2 choice? You can't get that either. We're not making 2019's anymore and the options availability has changed.

Really - you expect to be selling me close to six figure cars and you can't even keep your main corporate webpage up to date with a vehicle you'll actually sell me.

Again, just a really piss-poor look in the age of technology on BMW's behalf. And then that G80 potential front end...blech!

You make valid points. Imagine cross shopping all the luxury brands and then you go to BMW and you can't even spec out and research the actual car you will be buying. Instead you will have to settle for something on the lot, or may be turned off from the brand entirely.

I wonder if it's intentional on BMWs part. The people who will be going to the dealership, who aren't fanatics like us and frequent the message boards, may be none the wiser a 2020 model will be coming out soon and then sales people can get rid of their 2019 inventory a lot easier.
