Might as well add reason #15 why I'm waiting for MY2020, to my original list in the OP.
#15. Waiting for gesture controls to come back in stock. Stupid BMW logistics. Another minor thing, but what's the deal with BMW going even further into producing models faster than it can keep up with parts supplies? Last edited by Wild Blue; 05-13-2019 at 09:43 AM.. |

Am i missing something? What is wrong with the gesture control? Is it not available?
In addition, how do we know that MY2020 will get the 523hp engine? I cancelled my MY2019 order with the hope that 50i will have a 523hp option, but maybe BMW is ok with the lower horsepower engine?

As for the MY2020 getting the new M50i engine, still not official. But indications are that yes, the X7 is getting the new and bigger 50i engine. See this thread for inside information on multiple future BMW models: https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=901686 |

Reasons I'm NOT waiting:
#14 I'll have an X7 and you won't #31 Model Year cost increases - don't expect early run MY20's to be discount any more than 19's are presently. #39 My sales taxes will be higher by July! #55 |

I turned in my X5 last Nov, now in a Trackhawk (707hp) and I want every HP/Trq I can get. Power hungry if I have to have 1 vehicle. I know the power will still be a letdown BUT my family sat it an X7 last weekend, for the first time and said, I want this instead! And I know it will be more comfortable than what I'm driving now. |

Looking into my crystal ball, we'll see some sort of MSRP price increase for the 2020 models. As you say, I think we'll see discount percentages stay the same at first for 2020 models, but then as the initial rush of X7 buyers drops, and the demand/interest in the Mercedes GLS rises, I think we'll see discounts increase as we go further into year 2020. |

I am taking over a lease on a X5M for 9 months and hopefully by then 2020 rates will be reasonable.
