Start of Production For G30 LCI

Jason · 07-01-2020, 11:30 AM

Press Release:

No fewer than five new models celebrated their series launch at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing today. The first new addition is the BMW 4 Series Coupé, which continues the sports coupé tradition at the BMW site in Lower Bavaria with its individual and sporty character. Updated models of the BMW 5 Series Sedan, including the BMW M5 and the BMW 5 Series Touring, will come off the production line at the same time. All vehicles with four and six-cylinder engines will now offer not only sharper design, but also highly efficient 48-volt mild-hybrid technology – ensuring improved driving performance with better fuel economy and enhanced driving comfort. This will also benefit the new BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo, which impresses customers with its outstanding long-distance capabilities.

Christoph Schröder, head of BMW Group Plant Dingolfing: “Launching production of five models at the same time requires precise planning and intense concentration across the entire plant. Despite the temporary suspension of production and one-shift restart under coronavirus conditions, we have managed to release the new BMW 4 Series Coupé, BMW 5 Series and BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo on schedule, with the highest level of quality. This is a tremendous achievement by the team in Dingolfing and the entire process chain that has earned my utmost respect."

Looks good--do we have any clue when the online configurator will be updated for 2021?

Sometime this month. Earlier, if inventories thin around US. In my area G30 MY20 inventory is very low so I suspect the configurator will show up very soon.

Dont forget all of these news releases are pending EPA approval. Keep an eye on fueleconomy.gov. I doubt bmw will let you virtually build a car without the ability to sell it.

I just learned that my custom build 2021 BMW M550i is now in production. Woohoo!

None of the BMW Visualizers except for the one on the Germany website have been updated for the 2021 5 series.

Attached is the build status from the MyBMW website.

Regards,
Bud James
