MY 25 Review- When???

DDG61EW · 08-12-2024, 05:21 PM

Apologies if i've overlooked elsewhere.

Any thoughts when the YouTube world will get there hands on press cars? I know not much has changed but am interested if the "improvements" noted with the Z4 manual reviews have made it's way into the MY 25 M2.

Regardless i ordered one and am sure I'll love it. Coming from a Chevy SS and 130K miles and this wasn't a top tier set up, loved every mile....

Thanks.

I'm not by any means a YouTube expert, but I would doubt that you're going to see a lot of new reviews for the 2025. There's really not much that has changed except the new colors and bump in HP, not enough to warrant a whole new review at least.

Probably some dealerships will have "just arrived on the lot" type videos, but those are hard to find since they're usually not monetized and the algorithm will dump them at the bottom of a search, if you see them at all.

Unless BMW are sending out a load of new press cars to show off the colors I doubt there will be many new reviews. There are already plenty of reviews out there to tell you how good the car is 👍

I think there will be plenty of reviews coming but not as many as the initial debut of the G87. For MY25 MT they didn't just bump the hp but also remapped the throttle to be more responsive. The AT gets the same treatment but in addition got a significant bump in torque as well. You're going to see a lot of video comparisons between MY23/24 and MY25.

I look forward to the reviews cause it’s gonna be WAY faster than the 24s

24s are fast. 25s will be fast. I don't know that it's going to be so dramatic as to warrant an uppercase WAY.

Last week starting Aug 5 was the first week of G87 MY 2025 production. Given the average 7-week timeframe between build and U.S. delivery, they should start showing up at dealerships mid to late September.

Even though MY25 production was scheduled to start in August it actually started in mid July.

That is not entirely accurate. My model year ‘24 started production on July 20th (according to the app) so not possible for MY’25 to have started before that from what I know about manufacturing lines. This of course assumes my app data was correct.

I guess this is proof we can’t rely on the app for accurate information.

My 2025’s status.

My comment was meant to be pretty light hearted too, if that makes any difference. I'd like to think they're going to be WAY faster, I just need to temper my own expectations

To clarify mine entered assembly line on July 20th. So depending on you define what actually “starts production” then yeah I guess you could say MY25 started in mid July. Depends on which status code you count in that statement
