One of the M-forums had the 2017 Production Schedule for BMW. Our F26 (both variants) EOP is listed as March 2017. I am guessing this means LCI time for the current flavors? Hoping LCI translates in to LED or even AMOLE tail lights

This means production is made ready for G01 - unlikely new and old architecture produced in parallell -probably means that no X4 for a period of about a year.

If i understand wel the document, they speak about the 2017 models, where the End Of Production is in march 2017.

After this date, there will be ... a 2018 X4, and it will be the same as today, up to the next version in 2018 or 19.

No new tech no LCI... just 2018... eop only means building of that Model Year.

I read that article... production starts back back up most likely right after for the x4...

Other models getting lci are starting back up in july

Sorry - I don't understand how this could be done:-end of MY-17 X3 and X4 is March.

Then body assembly will be rebuilt to G01 with completely new architecture including carbon fibre- and aluminium parts. Will take one-two months.

In my world it is not possible to have one body assembly producing two completely different animals. Currently producing X3/X4 is to 90% same bodyparts/architecture.

I would anticipate Job 1 for G01 Aug 1 and Job 1 for G02 around New Year.

Agree. That is how I read it too (and in line with previous year's production schedule announcements).
