BMW Blog responded "next month" when a question was posted to the X5 M50i announcement (May 2019) when the F95 would be announced. The Vision M Next is going to be presented the week of June 25th. However, it is rumored the 8 gran coupe will also be announced and the public reveal of the M8 coupe and convertible. With the X5 M50i SOP August 2019, I expect the F95 SOP to be December 2019 (Spartanburg factory updates are August, December and March). But, the M8 was recently announced earlier this month and SOP is July 2019– this is a very quick time frame as BMW corporate is shortening the R&D time and wants to launch new products quicker than in the past. The X5M will have the same style seats as the M8 as I saw the prototypes this past winter in Sweden.
