No, the 530e already exists today, and it will be updated in July with the other existing G30/G31 models. The new 520e and 545e arrive a bit later, in November.
Oh wauw, are they really bringing out a 520e?
What's the purpose if that given the fact that the 530e is already 4-cilinder?

What are the specs of the 520e then?

It certainly appears to be the case, doesn’t it?

I think I remember a B38 being mentioned for the 20e drivetrain in the past. However, I could be mistaken. Even if it does use a B48 like the 530e, it would simply serve the same purpose the 520i does as compared to the 530i.

Not sure. Google might know, or at least have some idea.

Could be that the 530e is not economical enough to clear some regulation thresholds for subsidies, so they decided to detune it further in order to make it appeal to corporate customers that have CO2 limits etc.

Any information on when can we expect the F90 LCI? Is it safe to assume the same timeframe as the G30 LCI, so July this year?

It's like the F40 and F44 don't exist in a Bimmerpost.

I've never ever seen a new model completely ignored. Yes there was a launch thread etc but why do they not have a section within Bimmerpost odd!?

I would imagine more forum members are from North America compared to those outside of NA, and that the 1 series in general is a lower volume seller in BMW's lineup (although I could be wrong). The G29 Z4 forums aren't exactly lively either, and thats a worldwide vehicle, I guess there are just less non-US 1-series enthusiasts out there.

The F20 1 series isn't sold in IS either and has always had a forum section.

Strange.

Is there anything you can tell us about the 2021 F87?

With the original i3 known to be continuing for a few more years and the G28 BEV known to be coming soon, the product names were on a collision course. I'm just not sure i330 is distinct enough from 330i given the big differences under the skin. I'll bet they now wish they'd called the i3 the "i2".

"M245i" sounds like a B58 TU2 might be coming.

BMW is far more interested in saving their own ass than the planet. But in any case, I'd ask that you please use the political forum to discuss the topic of EV demand further.

Had a new 118d M sport as a rental this week. It was typical BMW build quality in a front biased car. Nice tech inside for a 1er and drove fine for what it is. It felt bigger than what it really is which was kinda weird, like driving a "mini SUV" versus a hatch.

Personally I'd buy the last gen 1er in M sport 140i flavor with RWD/MT (low KM of course) before the new version (even if the new one "puts the power down" better).

If I were going the non-RWD route I'd do a manual VW GTI
