That’s why they invented stockpiling aftermarket parts for your yet to arrive car! Makes the waiting just a bit more tolerable.

100% yes. I had a 2014 435i M-Sport. BMW offered a program tune that was 100% covered under the factory warranty. I don't remember how much the boost in HP was nor how much it cost, but I do remember that I decided that the additional HP they were offering wasn't worth the money.

I am curious if 2025 models actually have rear climate, or if that's a misprint. Haven't seen pics yet. The only thing I'm really envious of is iDrive 8.5 climate controls, but the fact that there is no cognac interior means I'm 100% happy I got my 2024 and would not trade.

It shows up in the builder 3D view but builders aren't always 100% accurate

that being said, its nice living through launch 2.0 of a car i already have and love. i am glad these small revisions have gotten the ball rolling with new buyers (and frankly, i might have picked skyscraper if it was available when i spec'd mine)

I agree mate.
Sorry if a came across a bit harsh, as that was not my intention.
I was hoping to convey the opposite in that they are ALL great cars, and we should be enjoying discussing the slight differences/personalities between them.
Truth be told if I could do of afforded one 2 years ago I would of been 1st in line for the 23.

At any given point in time, you will either be the person with something that is considered old or the one getting something exciting and new. Either way they are both transient states; the person with something old can get something new later and the person with something new today will be old tomorrow. Enjoy what you have without minimizing what others do or don't have. In other words, don't be a dick about shit.

Exactly!
Any M car is amazing in my eyes, even more so for any g87 (the best looking M off all time in my opinion).
Sorry if my excitement for my new car came across the wrong way, truth be told if I could of afforded one 2 years ago I would of been first inline for the 23.

I have no doubt that while the MY25 will gain some things, it may also loose some ‘feel’ or ‘character’ the 23 and 24’s have.

So anyone who owns any G87 should be super proud and cherish their amazing car.

iirc it showed up on the builder for the '24 as well, along with a rear seat cupholder, both of which I knew I wasn't getting so no big deal, but definitely inaccurate. Hell, my in-car owners manual for my 2024 shows the iDrive 8.5 climate. Nothing can be trusted

And BMW just listed on the 2025 what the 2024 actually has with HP anyways it’s already been proven on many dynos, they are just coming clean for once.

Also wouldn’t surprise me, we shall see on dynos, but I’m thinking not based on engine components remaining the same, if anything they will update the throttle map for the bump which will also be in any software updates for MY23 and MY24 owners since it’s the same firmware.
