Those are BMW’s numbers from the current USA website and from the G05 press release.

Ridiculous features

At least that feature, I'm sure, will be optional.

I have to agree. BMW decided to offset the weight loss of the new chassis, to add on extra gizmos and weight.

I, for one, will be giving a pass on the new motorized cargo cover, as well as pop-up cargo floor strips, if they're optional. For me, the features they add don't justify the extra weight and have something more to break.

I thought we heard it was going to be a more dynamic vehicle. Maybe someone smarter than me can elaborate on how you achieve that if the car is longer, wider, heaver, and the engine output is up just 10% over the previous gen.

With 10% increase in power, and a longer, wider and taller body, it manage to go from 0-100 km/h in faster time...

I've had three of the very first of the last M3/4 models (E46, E92 & F82). While there have been a few issues, BMW has taken care of them well, sometimes even after warranty.

Not sure if there are any other 90s kids that will understand this ridiculous reference, but the front end legit reminds me of the Pokémon Rattata with the buck teeth

Nope, you missed it. Available now. Read the original post again.
Why would I read the original post again if you just answered the question? Love you snarky forum dudes. Like it's all that's going on in your life, to catch every detail lol
Really? I'm barely on here, I'm just awake when I read.
You're so ballin'

Does anyone know if this will have a summon feature? Similar to the one on Tesla.

Hmmmm, looks like there is no sunglasses compartment in the upper console by the rear view mirror as in the F15. Disappointing!!!

When will we ever see a US-spec M Sport without the Off Road Pack (since it cannot be combined here)?? As I'm curious what the rear diffuser will look like. Also, how the center console will look without those off-road specific suspension buttons. Changes are also likely to happen with the interior trim finishes as they did with the G01 in different markets. Lastly, what do the non-laser headlight DRLs truly look like.

I think that was the most helpful video so far! To bad it wasn't in English, but at least he got up close on many parts of the car.

Yes. And it looks like they also removed the airflow temperature wheels from the middle vents. I’ll miss those.

Overall though, a very nice interior.

Here are a couple of pictures from the 2019 850. I guess this is what the G05 console will look like without the air suspension and off road mode buttons.

I think these may be the airflow temperature wheels in the middle vents.

I'm guessing they will light up blue or red, depending on selected temperature. Something I felt was really needed for night use.

I think those are just the air flow wheels, not the stratification. It looks like on most newer models (G01, G11, G30) there is no stratification wheel, it is all done digitally through a Touch Panel (G11), or through iDrive on the other models.

This video shows the iDrive controls, about 1:20 in.

Cool. I thought those were for opening or closing the vents, but it looks like there are LEDs that I hadn’t noticed at first. I hope you’re right!

It looks like the ticks grow in size down the dial, which would mimic the airflow more than the temp wheel, which is too bad.
