G42 LCI is April 2025. M cars typically follow the same LCI timeline that regular series cars do. I would caveat this by mentioning that BMW announced they have extended the lifecycle of ICE cars by a couple of years. In theory they could end up pushing LCI out by a year or even having two LCI changes, however unlikely that may seem. The short answer is no one knows.

My SA advised they’re expecting allocations late February/early March, with the release still in April.

As someone above suggested, this may be so they can build EU/Asian models (which have to travel further) before the US models.

Has anyone heard about global allocations being released yet?

In my opinion, that will be nearly impossible to accomplish if initial G87 allocations are received within that timeline. They will have to build them, prep them for shipping, load them, ship them, unload them, go thru the VPCs, and then ship them to U.S. BMW Centers all prior to the global launch in April. It is truly unrealistic.

So April launch is a scam?

Who knows… April very well could be the marketing launch. No one has yet to consider that.

Good attitude!


I have waited this long and I just might wait for MY 2024.

True but on the flip-side, the longer the wait the worse our trade in values are going to be on our F87 M2s (if things continue to trend downward.)

Worse trade ins and higher interest

[zero21]

The longer I wait the more I want to order a G80 to have alongside my G87. It's like the original M3 and M5 combo but I also really want individual paint.

I'm strongly considering buying an HEA car if I can reasonably do so. If not, moving my order to MY24.

The thing that would annoy me about getting bumped to a '24 is the inevitable ~$1200 price hike.

Peanuts versus the hit on a ‘23 that will get dinged with being one model year old within several months.

What is so special about MY2024 other than the color options?

Nothing anyone says is anything but speculation.

ID is likely to receive an update that will not be available OTA. https://g42.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1981860

Full model year. The 2023 model year will be approximately six months in the U.S.

Anyone who gets a 2023 at or near MSRP is practically guaranteed to be driving for free for at least 6-12 months. Maybe even paid to drive if the reviews are exceptionally strong and supply is tight.

Get the 2023, get back in line for a 2024 allocation, drive the launch car while you wait, and sell for around what you paid when your second car lands. As long as you don't option your 2023 to $80k with a bunch of M Perf goodies, this is a reasonable plan.

The lines are fairly lengthy. The likelihood of one turning around and getting back in line for a 2024 is slim. Many current waitlist are 12-18+ months and that is if G87 production is not constrained.

Right - I'd prefer to drive a launch car during that waiting period if it's at all possible, even if it means a small depreciation hit while waiting for a 2025. If you're actually hot on this model, there's no conceivable upgrade on the 2024+ cars worth passing up the opportunity to own a G87 12-18 months early. Especially since the same market dynamics that make it hard to get also protect your financial downside buying an early car.

Or like me, you can be on 4 lists from the get go :-). Say what you will…

I bet it’s closer to a $3K price hike for next MY. Maybe $4K.

This is why I don’t think the 23 will take much of a hit when the 24 launches. Heck my wife’s bronco is a 22 and it’s was ordered in November 21 and has been built and waiting to ship since November 22.

I agree I don’t see how it is possible to take orders in February/March to receive in April.

Right, no one said launch in the US was April
