It is more a matter of "will" and product planning well in advance of launch, based on an assumed user profile in the US, than... simple supply. "Supply" has become such a poor shorthand for a complex mix of "demand," "supply," and forecasting/planning.

Unfortunately that is not how it has been working. BMW can only get a limited number of units from B&W, they sell every one that they can get. When there has been "extra" they offered them to 40i and 45e builds. As supply increases/normalizes then they will be offered as a regular option on the 40i and 45e. Like other options, they will first offer it in smaller markets where demand can be met rather than in the US where they would have to constantly issue production constraints when there is a shortage of supply.

Turtle - is there an option to turn OFF
Those. <<<<<<< X6 >>>>>>>>> Trim lights on the interior mid dash? I like a dark lit interior when I drive in the evening Overall happy w the New X6, They didn’t mess with headlights / grill too much . The lower gloss black front is… not wonderful - but in a darker color it should look fine. X6M60 I will order, ignoring the advice of the old sages thru life who have said to never order an 8 cylinder in the first year it comes off the line. |

Finally, it's here...
Thankfully, I didn't wait for it. The 50e with the new MSRP and no Tax Credit is almost $15-$20k more expensive than my 23. TBH. It did make some solid improvements to the drivetrain and battery. It would be everything I wished for on the 45e. Look wise, It's just little different, not necessary improved in my opinion. I am not sure I like the new headlights and taillights. I don't like the new front DRL pattern, I prefer the previous Laser light DRL better. I think the taillights will be better if they had changed the tailgate cutout to fit the new light pattern, instead of the flat black parts. iDrive 8 is another topic all together. Those new prices is hard to look at, especially with Tesla model Y dropping to the mid $50s. I am guessing lots of folks are cross shopping both. I totally did. |

Edit: I didn't find anything that would turn off just that part of the ambient lighting (all ambient can be turned off of course) although there is ambience setting that may have some effect. There is also a setting for nighttime driving that may help some.

I’m surprisingly indifferent on the exterior changes, it’s not bad actually. But oof that illuminated x7 style dash design is goofy. Appreciating my 22 a little more now.

Is BMW bringing back Snapper Rocks Blue to the X6 or are my eyes deceiving me?
