I don't understand the logic behind them locking the audio system into the highest engine configuration. I'm pretty sure the upgrade "upgrade" audio system was always available across all trims. It makes them money and is a good option for people who are happy with the smaller engine but really want good sound and all of the other amenities. Makes no sense to me to have to spend that much extra just to have the option to get good sound. Maybe the B&W option just isnt selling well on the lower trims? imo, they should make the B&W system as standard equipment. |

I don't get it either, perhaps they're restructure G05 packaging again next year after the market and supply channels rebound.

not everyone wants a x5m, or even a x7, even if its based mainly on issues related to fuel economy or sheer size, not necessarily affordibility. sure am glad we got pretty much all the options available in the x7 in ours. hopefully BMW reconsiders their new approach for selling options going into future MYs. |

Little bit confused. But will wireless Android auto only be available when you have the MY21 ?
Have a car in order ATM and would really hope it gets Android auto. |

These are their marketing games. I also can't understand why B&W is 50% cheaper in US then in Europe, like most of the other options. Can't be the taxes, gap is too wide...

So today I placed an order for my X5 xDrive40i. Given the options I've requested (Fully loaded, with the exception of integrated active steering, night vision, running boards) it will be interesting how this plays out:
1) If my X5 will be identified as a 2020 or MY21 (given parts delays, and the BMW SC plant currently fulfilling a backlog of X5's due to Covid-19, and 2) If because I placed the order today I'll be able to get the Bowers & Wilkins audio before the MY21 production options are "enforced". We'll see...

Just realize that in the US you have to buy the executive package, which might have a bunch of stuff the buyer does not really want. That is like another $4k.

Jump on a 2020. You'll have until July to order plus whatever is on the lots.
