BMW has categorically said that the will be no 6'er for 2026 despite all the speculation.

I want to send a big thank you to ynguldyn for all the information provided.
I had been holding off on ordering an i5 Touring until the new updates were in place, only to see that the iX LCI practically fixed all the things I had against the car.
Now the iX is ordered—huge thanks!

When is ZA0 M3 production expected to begin? And when will it likely arrive in the US?

• In production 11/26-6/35
• Model range: 20, 40, 40 xDrive, 50, 50 xDrive, M60 xDrive
• Will be made in Germany and SLP (SLP starts with one year delay).
• Will include ZA0 M3 and ZA1 M3 Touring.

Not sure on when exactly it would come to the US, but unless ynguldyn has specifics on that I'd expect it to be similar to the iX3 delay in rollout. Don't know if SLP is solely for the US or if any German-made cars would get to the US earlier.

Yeah I think 11/26 is for the regular i3 not the electric M3 which I assume means later in ‘27?

I mean, the post I quoted does in fact state that it includes the electric M3.

First spec data for NA5 is in the top post. Compared to G45, it's a little longer, a little lower, and a little narrower.

I haven't seen any Spy photos. Is BMW still considering a next gen 8 series gran coupe?

@ynguldyn nitpick: the last entry on the front page says "February 2024" instead of "February 2025"

I feel like I'd rather stay in 2024.
