Well, ok . . . how about post 41, the one just above your post?

Bought a X4 M40i 10 months ago, and now it's outdated

...Happy for those folks getting a 2020, but truly unfair to those of us with 2019's, many of us paid the same $60-70k for a lesser vehicle....BS!!!

Such is the life with vehicles today. Have to keep up with the ever changing competition.

Honestly doesn't make our 2019's any less of a vehicle than it already is. It's still a well performing SAV with lots of tech.

I give you credit. It's the mature perspective, but I admit, I like all the pretty new things. I know it's impossible to keep up, but boy there are a lot of changes for a vehicle introduced less than a year ago (in the case of the X4). And I think BMW is poised to do the same thing to MY20 X3/4 M buyers with the addition of the M version of Live Cockpit Pro and iD7 next spring.

Admittedly, I'd feel more like this . . .

Adding a bit of salt to that wound . . . my MY20 spec actually has a slightly lower MSRP than the same MY19 spec that doesn't include all the new bits. Crazy.

I'm surprised it dropped two ticks. But as xlover will say, these times are mostly for marketing purposes. The MY19 0-60 was underrated. Maybe the MY20 0-60 is underrated a bit less.

I agree. It does look as though at BMW USA they changed the to 0 to 60 to 4.4. to bad in at least three other places in still says the HP is 355.

Ahhh.. when does this engine appear in the X3M40i?? I have one on order and it has yet to go into build.. knowing that I am in UK, it most probably will be detuned to cater for WLTP and take another 20hp off.

The assumption has been the WLTP with it's NOx filter results in the engine being 355/360hp but this isn't confirmed anywhere....I'd love to know too. Yours being a Sept delivery is MY2020 build for which WLTP has to be adhered to for the car has to be crushed - you will surely get whatever the on-going spec will be.

The UK BYO site is showing the X3 M40 with 360hp.

This is the snapshot I had upon decoding my VIN for my new order which is due for Production next week.

[rajp]

The UK site has been showing that for a while... I am waiting on my dealer to provide me the exact build date.. at the moment, it is scheduled to go into Prod some point in Sep. Not sure when though.. it will have the new Live Cockpit Professional display.. that is all I know..

So that is showing 285 which would imply inc in BHP then... and on the site its still showing the 4.8sec time (not that it makes any difference)

Potentially, but they might throttle it down with all the OPF installs for WLTP regulations which might likely reduce the overall output of the engine.

Only time will tell when we can see the engine code visually...

Agreed on how they downtune the engine for WLTP.

Mine's due to go into production week 16th Sep... how did you get the VIN number?? I asked my dealer and they said that its not available until the car is manufactured.

[suby01]

And we are CONFIRMED bananajamma indeed!
As of 8/28/19 2020 X3 M40i is gong to have the increased HP motor.

I didnt even ask about any HP increase but here it is. Direct from BMW sales adviser-

Greetings,
That is exciting news I am glad that you have decided on the BMW M40i It was a great vehicle for 2018 and 2019. It is going to be a even BETTER It has not been shared to the public yet but the 2020 is set to get a different motor same as the X4 M40i has recently gotten going from 355hp to 382hp! Also I drive 7 will be in the new vehicle! There is a slight Price hike for this from a base MSRP of $54,650 to a base MSRP of $56,900 .

If the car is Confirmed by Production Control (UK status code 5055), then your car will have its VIN assigned which your dealer should be able to provide to you.

You can also speak with your local country BMW customer services which should be able to tell you the last seven digits of the chassis number if you have your order number available to share with them.

decoder.bvzine.com is a good site with which to check your build configuration using your last seven letter/numbers combination of your VIN chassis No.

OK.. mine is still Status Code of 1200... Scheduled for Prod commencing the 16th Sep..

Those are the things that manufacturers are most focused on these days.

So it doesn't surprise me one bit that the performance remains the same. Even if efficiency also remains the same, the higher HP number helps to get people like you fanboys excited to buy the car. And didn't Mercedes just increase HP in the AMG GLC series? German car brands are constantly watching each other.

LOL, sorry to break it to you 7thGear but all things equal when you raise hp that acceleration will decrease

It doesn't surprise me one bit that performance is better.

You sound like there's something I said that was incorrect. Not so.

If you think all things are equal, you haven't been paying attention. There are several changes to the motor that have been pointed out in other threads. Lighter crankshaft, much longer timing chain and a few more things, all of which have the potential to change the engine's characteristics. Any change to an engine can increase or decrease performance and/or fuel efficiency, depending on what is being changed.

I'm happy for you fanboys who giggle like schoolgirls at the thought of shaving 0.2 seconds off the 0-60 time of a friggin' SUV. See if you can use bimmercode to increase the volume of the ASD as well. That'll make it even faster!
