Last order date for 2019 MY M5?
Anyone know the last order date for the 2019 MY M5? And along with that, the first order date for the 2020?
Thanks. |

I can't speak for the SOP/EOP for 2020MY, but if it follows the same timeline, SOP would be July 2019. Again, this is pure speculation/assumption re: the 2020 model. |

I'm aware of the July switchover for production, but most manufacturers seem to stop taking orders 1-3 months before their EOP. I was assuming it was that way with BMW. This will be my first BMW (or possibly an M550i will be, I haven't made my mind up entirely yet, though part of that will depend on an order allocation with my dealer for the M5) so I'm kind of learning on the fly before ordering. They seem to do a lot very different from domestic manufacturers.

Yeah, probably for me as well, though it's not just HP that is drawing me to the M5. More options for driving setup and configuration, the M5 buttons and other such things are interesting to me. But yeah, the $25K difference might not be as worth while for '20 MY.

That's an interesting idea. I wish I knew what exactly was actually coming to '20 MY, so I'd know if holding off would matter to me or not. Which, of course is why they don't release that info too early.

Case in point: the 7 series is one year ahead of the 5 series in the model life-cycle. The 7 gets its LCI (along with iDrive 7.0) for 2020. Won't see these changes in the 5 until 2021.

I won't be upset if neither happen, but it very much looks likely, so I'll go ahead and give it another couple months before I order. It's not hurting me any to wait. Honestly, it'll help me lower my payment if I get an M5, as I'll have another $20K-$30K available for down payment. You might reference this post: https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=901686 specifically the July 2018 info re: MY2020 G30. Last edited by nlaak; 03-10-2019 at 05:36 PM.. |

The rumors say that it will. I'm not crazy about the shape of the new cluster, but I dislike the rings and shape/design of the current cluster.

The upcoming 2020 X3M/X4M will have the current M5 digital cluster (rings) and iDrive 6.0, for what it's worth. See pics
