I have discovered that the eSIM service doesn’t appear to work sometimes because the vehicle is not handing out a default gateway or is handing out a local IP address on the wrong internal subnet. A simple iDrive reboot fixes this every single time. I do not believe the MGU22 has this issue at all - plus it’s upgradable to iDrive 8.5 and supports Highway Assistant.

The i7 has had the MGU22 head unit since it’s inception and I suspect the G90 will have it as well. The XMs start getting it next month.

Do u know what is I the 2023 i4?..which head unit?

The proportions alone have me worried… it ‘looks’ heavy and boat-like. I’ll reserve judgement until it’s officially unveiled though.

You can’t go by the model year alone on these types of things because that’s not how BMW operates when it comes to production feature changes. Unless your i4 was recently built, you probably have the older head unit (MGU21/HU-H4) and are in the same position as me with no upgrade path. You may want to look at the last two images (full screen):

I guess this confirms my sighting in Santa Clara, CA. I saw one driving done the freeway all wrapped up.

I guess the new M5 hybrid is coming, wished it would have been the wagon version. Still wouldn’t mind this car! Lol

Yes! Thank you. You have been right about pretty much everything else. I look forward to seeing the G99 on US streets. I might even get one however as it creeps past 160k I will start to rethink my choice.

SFBavarianArea · 07-26-2023, 02:18 PM

Really getting in that hot weather testing 😬

I don’t know if this is true. BMW USA’s instagram just posted an entire M5 Touring tease video recently.

Emphasis on USA

I’d believe ynguldyn before I believe some trainer who has zero information other than what’s currently being offered

My very thoughts, why Florida?!

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 07-27-2023, 01:18 AM

Looks beautiful & much better then the flat fendered regular 5 series. Hope they can make some revision to those boring tail lights.

Hassan1490 · 07-27-2023, 01:42 AM

I'm afraid about the performance more than its design.
718 hp for at least 400lb weight gain doesn't look that good.
It is only a very small gain in power to weight ration compared to the current M5. Moreover, the XM powertrain doesn't look that promising. Almost all reviews called negative things about it.
