Have my X6M build, slightly more expensive than 2024 model. Now waiting for allocation.

Congrats, what did you get? Color, interior, etc.

I took a delivery at performance center of X6M60 in July, Isle of Man Green, fully loaded. It was a great car, got rear ended and was a total loss in December.

Decided to get the same options but with M. Had X6M and X4MCE, missed the M performance. M60 has the same engine, great car, but not an M car.

Just got my VIN for a 2025 today actually.

How long did it take to get a VIN after getting the build in? I just got a build number today for a '25 X5.

PS: Looking forward to engaging with folks on this forum

Any differences with MY2025 besides the price?

Brake calipers are free but other than the $2.5k increase , looks like there is nothing different

I think it comes with iDrive 8.5 and maybe some more advanced assisted driving features (which I didn't select).

The change in iDrive likely means getting the update compute hardware platform which probably also jives with the more advanced assisted driving option.

I know some existing models built after 7/2023 such as 7-series, i4 and so on can get the 8.5 update, but the '24 X5 does not. Same issue with my '24 G80 which will not be able to upgrade.

For me , there was not point getting a '24 at this point.

8.5 seems to be available on ‘24

Thanks for posting. The article I read was not complete in that case.

I am guessing the '25 is essentially the same as the '24 except for the ability to configure the more advanced driver assist tech, which may or may not be based on an update to the compute HW. I am still opting for a '25 since I can configure it precisely vs buying one of the lot, and getting it under MSRP anyway.

It was all rather seamless, confirmed my build 4 weeks ago. Asked for delivery the first week of May and here we are!

The car can physically do the look over lane changes, but apparently it’s not enabled on X5MC.

I cannot confirm this, but from what I have read, one additional change for the MY25 (which I configured) is the 2-axle air suspension. Also on pricing it seems that depending on the config, the MY25 can be the same or cheaper than the MY24. Probably a wash in the end.

M car with air suspension?

Is this for 2025 M model? Was build information available 4 weeks ago?

I think the previous x5M had air suspension, but it's doubtful they would introduce it a MY into the LCI. You must be thinking the regular X5?

The previous F85 (X5M) only had rear air suspension. It also rode firm like a full "M" vehicle is supposed to. And those air bags cost a moon to replace. Glad BMW went back to all steel springs for the suspension on the F95 X5M.

I actually went and found the MY24 build sheet and the 2-axel air suspension option was there for all models and standard on the 50e. I was going by something I saw in another post, but should have gone to the source of truth.

I do not see it on the ordering guide for the M or the online site builder …
