Not sure when this got updated, but I noticed that this tidbit is now under the G42 portion of our insider's future information post

Too late for me. I would have appreciated those choices. I went with BG given what was available.

Would this be for the 2025 models?

Yup this has been know for a while.

Interested on the interior updates. Personally just wanted the sportier seats as an option like in Europe.

Per the other thread and the BMW website it looks like the 48v mild hybrid thing is happening too. Seems generally like a good thing, but is mostly for environmental mandates, etc.

Mexico gets the M Sport Seats already. I wonder if it's just U.S. and Canada that don't get them?

Surprised Mexico gets them... they have a higher obesity rate than the US. I assumed that was the reason the US didn't get them.

I don’t think that has anything to do with it. 🤦🏼‍♂️

The US doesn’t get M Sport Seats, M Seatbelts or M fender badging.

Why else would they not give their biggest market (no pun intended) this option then?

Forgot about the seatbelts, but glad we don't get the fender badging, looks odd to me.

To up sell the M2 is my guess.

[kudos]

Zandvoort is the worst color when it comes to M2 options. It will be the worst for the M240i as well.

What makes you think the US is BMWs biggest market?

[ggggbmw]

Boring Zandvoort Blue, and yet another crappy grey? Bleah.

Wish they would bring back Sunset Orange, or a snappier blue, like Estoril or Marina. This car seriously lacks for exciting colors.

Melbourne Red is the only thing that sparks my interest. Portimao is a bit too dark. And Thundernight is interesting, but again, a bit dark and it doesn't have the eye-pop of the old Techno Violet.

[Baldilocks73]

Agreed, an orange would be great!!

They added the left compartment back and called it a day.

It’s not on any of the MY24 models that have been seen in the wild so far.
