That’s hard to believe to be honest. I think they will bring the comp. I think they are just saying that so ppl buy more units of the m5

How come no comp on the m2 yet?

I've never seen BMW release a top M car and then add an extended or full leather option later in its life cycle, so I have pushed back on it. We will see!

BMW doesn’t really want to use natural leather. They would prefer you find happiness with the fake stuff made from chemicals. 👎

They may have latitude if they keep the production numbers so small as to make its existence irrelevant.
However, if they make it in more meaningful numbers i.e You could order it… EU rules… no chance of ICE only.
Euro VII emissions standards are coming and they’re even more strict than Euro 6.

There's something seriously wrong going on at BMW. Either they are not sure of what they're doing or they are trying to fix something, or even worse, they rushed the M5 so much that they're trying to rectify whatever they can.

There is absolutely nothing unusual in what we're seeing here.

Begin with the fact that the whole idea of a model year is a US construct that is completely foreign to the BMW production cycles that have 3 transition points each year. Then look at the SOP/EOP lists distributed to dealers every year and see at least a third of items on each list with model years not equal to 12 months. This is especially true for M cars.

It’s not coming……whether you want to believe it or not. They won’t even put full leather in this thing.

I thought BMW M said a while ago there would not be a Competition nomenclature on true M products in the future.

BMW M said they are not bringing out the Competition package on the new generation M cars?

That should be a Sign for ppl that they are saving all those options for the competition. At least that how I am taking it lol

Yes. That's also evident with the choices with the X5 M/X6 M and M8...only available as competition now as most did not get the base model for those vehicles.

The LCI, currently planned for March 2027 SOP, will continue with a single version of G90.

No predictions yet for what could happen after that.

Curious - what are the three transition points each year?

[borys]

No soft close doors or better audio?
I am also waiting on the competition... or hoping for one.
Would love full leather option. M5 is a luxury sedan. Or supposed to be one.

Depends on the location. German factories do it on the first of March, July, and November. Spartanburg and SLP - a month later.

[SHARMAATL]

No soft close doors, no full leather, no Bowers & Wilkins upgraded/Diamond surround sound. This is all making the new M5 look honestly like a peasant car but inexplicably still priced at $140k. I'll keep my X7 I guess. Was seriously wanting to get the Touring in the Spring.

You honestly had me laugh out loud at the G90 seeming like a peasant car.

[elitex]

Wait wait wait. No soft close, no full leather, no upgraded audio option???? 😂😂😂😂 BMW has lost their minds!

First time in 15 years I don’t have a BMW in my house as I sold my M8 few months ago. There’s nothing in the lineup that stands out. Well maybe M4 CS.

Yes, V8 requires PHEV to meet emissions regulations over full G90 lifecycle. It also makes it much cheaper outside US due to taxes and incentives. Same reason Porsche had to drop the Cayenne Turbo GT in EU (only have Turbo E-Hybrid model). Even the 911 GT3, with it's NA flat 6, can't be sold in EU starting 2026.

It's extremely unlikely we'll see any non-hybrid G90 M5s.

For the price, absolutely. When something less expensive (X7) has these features, then yea it's peasant spec.

Profit margin is very slim on the G90 and a loaded x7 m60i is 130k so not exactly cheaper. And the b&w in the G90 keeps getting described as better then the diamond that was in the F90 so really it's soft close doors and a couple extra pieces of leather that've got you accusing it of peasantry.
