buy now or later
the 2015 X3 35i does not a seem to be a great deal different from my 2012 X3. The 35i motor and power train are really outstanding but virtually the same in both vehicles. While they are similar, It seems to me that the 2015 would be a good choice to move up-to now,rather than wait for the 2017 G01, that is due to hit the market in late 2016.
The G01 is planned to have some interesting model changes but from a comfort and performance stand point it does not seem to be a great leap forward. perhaps the 2015 may be a good purchase now rather than wait for the G01 that may only be marginally better. |

If your 2012 is fine, i say wait for the x40i M model OR wait for the G01, isn't it Ironic how the 7 Series is F01 and the X3 is G01? Seems like X3 has gained its rank lol

The 2015-2017 model years are the F25 LCI, the G01 will be a 2018 model year vehicle released in Q3 2017.

My understanding from several post was the NEW G01 would launch in 2017 and of course be available the 4th quarter of 2016 (not 2018). I'm holding out for the 40i M version - but not certain which year XM will be released.
Hence, I'm waiting..... |

The G01 will most likely begin production in Q3 2017 as a 2018 model year vehicle.

For us, this may be the first time we hold on to a vehicle past its 4 year guaranteed warranty, so that we can trade in our 2012 for the G01. I will be very surprised if it doesn't become 'the' choice for this automotive segment. |
