I've read that the 2021 X3 models might be coming out sooner than expected but can't confirm. Does anyone have reliable info about the release and ordering dates? I'm assuming this will be a mid cycle refresh.

Lol 2 months into 2020. Let me enjoy my purchase.

2020 was a mid cycle refresh if you ask me.
New engine.
New cluster (Live Cockpit Pro)
iDrive 7.
etc

MY20 was an LCI Lite for sure, but I think we'll see some minor front- and rear-end updates with a real LCI in MY22. As for an early release of MY21 models, I don't think that there's been any indication of that and when they do come, I wouldn't anticipate any significant changes for 21.

2021 X3M models (both base and comp.) will be starting production in April. I believe the April production start on '21 X3Ms has to do with getting iDrive 7 into them, to be consistent with the rest of the X3 line. I don't believe the rest of the X3 line will be start '21 production so quickly.

According to this post, 2020 X3 M40i and 30i will be in production until July. So I would not expect '21 production for those models to start until August or September.

In other words, if you aren't considering an X3M, the '20 model year vehicles will be around for a bit longer...

Agreed. That's what I've read as well.

Just perusing the web and found some reading material. Looks like it could be some body changes up front and back as well as some internal mods. I hope they change the front end and get rid of that black connector piece down low and make the bumper one solid piece.

Cars today typically has a 7 year lifecycle, with a refresh (LCI, Life Cycle Impulse) after 4 years. Since 2018 was first, I don't expect LCI on 2021. More likely on 2022 as someone alreay mentioned.
