No X1 info? I was looking forward to that pricing range.

MrSmileyDC · 06-18-2015, 12:18 PM

When does the destination and handling charge go up? Noticed it is 995 now.

Falafel Combo · 06-18-2015, 12:18 PM

What happened to the 330i and 340i monikers?

Vector Pilot · 06-18-2015, 12:33 PM

Did not see the GC on the list I'm assuming standard and options pricing for the F36 will be same as the F32?

Manbnda · 06-18-2015, 12:45 PM

I think BMW's 'lines' idea was horrible. Good thing there are no longer lines on the 4 Series. The only thing I was hoping is that they made a re-engine for 2016 to at least match the power output of the new 340i prior to LCI. But I think the worst thing is people will have to buy an LCI 328i knowing that next year the car will change to 330i. Re-badging could make sense when it comes to it, I believe it's like a 5 hp difference.

So the M3 gets ambient lighting around center stack but M4 does not... must be a production nightmare having different parts for 2 cars with nearly identical interiors.

It doesn't look like the 4-series (including M4) got any of the LCI interior changes like Nav upgrade or climate display color changes.

This makes absolutely no sense to me, forget the lighting but NAV?! That is something that should be standard update wise across all model years. I really hope this information is somehow wrong and the M4 also comes with updated Nav.

xlover · 06-18-2015, 02:23 PM

Whats the deal with the 4 coupe/M4 coupe plant and their paint supply planning, SO and EB are both P1 options to start the year?

For the X6 (and X5?) $400 price increase for the M Sport package, but the package hasn't changed at all? I could see if it now included 20" wheels, but what could the reason be for a 11.5% price hike when the base price went essentially unchanged? Or did it have such a high take rate they figured they could get more for the package? $3500 was already extreme for what you get.

except they are made in different plants...

SamS · 06-18-2015, 03:10 PM

I still want to know what "Improved Child Seat handling" means. I have two convertibles that go in the back, and I ordered a '16 M3.

understood, but its still an extra part you have to source, stock, deliver to dealerships, etc...

I've been waiting to order an M3 so I could get the LCI changes, and this is what they essentially have been telling us all along so i'm not surprised, it just seems like a headache.

The other aspect holds that for MY2018, the 4-series (incl M4) will get some cool LCI interior changes/features above what the 3er LCI got, and those with a MY2018 3er will be hung out as its last model year winds down.

it's an 'enthusiast' choice, plus lack of manual makes it a difficult sale - save money and stick with the 3 sedan or pony up a little more for real performance in the M3.

I don't think any coupe buyers opt for it thinking "I want a coupe, but this has 4 doors". Rather, it's the other way around - the sedan buyers want something a bit sportier.

Maybe only offer the MT in the Evens

BwoodBMW · 06-18-2015, 03:22 PM

Do we know what the new Nav system hardware is? In another release they mentioned the screen will have a "thinner profile" or something like that. None of the pictures appear to be a meaningful difference.

M3 Adjuster · 06-18-2015, 03:27 PM

228 - 34K
M235i - 45K

M4 coupe - 66K

Sure looks like the M2 will slot right in the middle around 54-55K ... probably a tick higher than most people are hoping..

Yeah, but that is just where the 1M fit in, account for 5 years of inflation.

the 1M began at 48K and topped out at 54K... you sure are easy on inflation!

I don't like to give inflation ANY credit...

p.s... you should also account for the EURO vs the dollar..
