Who’s waiting to purchase the LCI?

I called my local dealership to see what their waitlist looks like, the sales person I always deal with said they have 3 people already on the waitlist for allocations.

I guess people are giving up current allocations and waiting. That’s why more allocations came up free for the current ‘24 model.

I am. I gave up my 2024 allocation a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. I searched but didn’t find this before

Ive just done exactly the same! My 2024 was due May, so I figured might as well wait a little longer for the LCI. If my order was due sooner I probably wouldn’t have cancelled though

I figure I’ll have the car for 3 years so might as well wait an extra couple of months to have the current model. Bit of gamble with the price though, had a pretty good deal on the 2024 order

If I had a near-term MY24 allocation, I'd probably wait, but when I had made the decision seven months ago, I thought there was little reason to wait what would have then been a year. A negligible increase in horsepower, iD8.5 (not a significant step-up by any means), and the switch from the beautiful laser lights to very boring looking non-lasers (a real step-down imo). I'm sure there'll be a few small surprises (silver rather than black interior buttons, maybe) but that's about it. I'm pretty disappointed actually.

Did they mention when you should receive it? Is it like a q3 arrival?

Same here. Waiting.

I'm ordering in July 2024, when orders will be open for MY 2025 - at least here in Canada. Reason: while BMW's updates or LCIs are not always a direct improvement (visually or otherwise), I find they are very skilled at designing the updated model in a way that renders the previous iteration 'last gen' or at least makes it look that way. Just my two cents.

Yeah, just look at the original F80 vs. F80 LCI. They look like two completely different cars

Lights make a huge difference in a car’s appearance, especially compared the base non-laser ones 🤣 Sorry you’re not as detail-oriented

They didn’t mention because they don’t know any more that we already know… G82/G83 in March and G80/G81 in July.

How Canadian of you. I'm sorry you won't be getting laser lights with your LCI

Not much to predict here, July production will mean August/September first deliveries.

Huh? All BMW usually does is change tail lights. This time they are also changing headlights. So generational....

I wouldn’t wait for the LCI but would a month or two for the next model year.

I haven’t been following the LCI changes.
Why are they dropping the laser lights?
So LCI models will only have standard LED lights?

Right. But it means waiting until late summer. So, if I was looking to buy now, I would buy a 2024. If my need/want window was through summer, I would wait and order a 2025 (regardless of the LCI).

At this point if you try to order one you’re likely getting an LCI whether you want it or not.
