2021 X5M / X6M - Updates?

Does anyone know if there are any changes/updates between the 2020 and 2021 X5M and X6M?
I am wondering if 2021 will have the Sky Lounge.

Also, any idea when dealers will start accepting orders and the build will start for the 2021 models?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Looks like no point waiting for a 2021 then if I can find a 2020.

Is there a build sheet for the 2021 to order off if I decide to?
Im curious why they got rid of the rear seat entertainment in the US..

Rear seat entertainment is not a very popular option from what I've been told. Ordering guide is listed in a sticky thread under the ordering forum.

No reason to really go with the limited factory rear entertainment when you can just use Ipads instead with more flexibility and lower cost.

One thing i don't get is why doesn't the US spec X5M/X6M get the sky lounge when other X5 40i/M50i here gets it and non US spec X5M/X6M gets it. After spending some time in a 40i loaner with this its a cool feature that adds some wow factor to the interior. Just seem strange to ding the US buyers after spending top dollar for the X5M/X6M

Hi,

You are right. In EU we can add the rear entertainment but I think its much better, usable (and cheaper) to buy some ipads, could be 2 ipad pros ..and still cheaper.
As I know on the rear seats all people talking with me or each other, maybe on long trips but there could take place the ipad or just phone..
If they would like to see the map, they can - the front display is huge and music? They may tell me what they would like to hear.

But.. the Sky lounge is for me "must have".
It seems really cool and I am really looking forward for my x5m comp when it comes.
Its one of the (more) reasons I didnt take M8 GC (it has only carbon roof).

I have a theory of why US spec is limited compared to other markets, since the US is a huge market compared to other markets, car manufacturers tend to list cars cheaper. To maintain the profit margin they limit options. Now this is just my theory I might be mistaken

^^ certainly possible they are saving some pennies by not offering in the top trim M models but at a 20-30K premium over what a "Normal" X5 cost you would think they throw in ALL the bells and whistles. They did in every other area of the car except for the lights in the pano roof. Not a huge deal i guess since the car is awesome in so many ways and i'm usually not looking up while driving the car lol.

Same model with all the bells and whistles in other markets are at a 25k-30k premium over US X5Ms

I have an order that’s scheduled for week 34, prices at approx 145k USD. Basically every thing except rear seat screens

I'd sell you my sky lounge if I could. Totally pointless in my opinion.

Can someone take a picture of their sky lounge? Can't be envious of something I have never seen.

I ordered mine 2 weeks ago, delivery would be around Dec20 or Jan21 so teoretically I have "the 21" :-)
I ordered one a few weeks ago and SA is estimating I get a MY21 in October/November.

How long does the delivery take?

For example in EU :
If you order sedans (germany/austria), you wait for production and after its done, you get it in 1-2weeks max
If you order X ones (so USA), you wait for production and after that 2 months delivery.

No clue. I know sometimes it can get delayed significantly with customs though.

Just to comment on the OP post, it looks like everything is the same. With the exception that the "Competition" is now added as a package, rather than on the car originally. Other than that, nothing was different from 2020.

I ordered my 2021 X6M about 3 weeks ago, and was curious as to how everyone knows what date the estimated arrival is? On the my bmw tracking, I show "Today's the day production begins" as of last week, but not sure where to find an estimated completion. Thanks in advance for any insight!
