Bimmerforums has been around as a message board since 2000. Good, general info.
The other good ones are model-specific, generally.

Make sure you get it with Park Assist Plus. It will autonomously reverse last 150+ ft that you drove forward. See beginning of the video I posted link too

That autonomous parking feature is really spooky and creepy, but FLAWLESS. It's on the 2021 M5 Competition that I just got. The first time I tried it was astounding.

Ordered it. Originally it was supposed to be a 2020 and my kid and I were going to do European delivery last June. But we all know what happened at that time of 2020, and then BMW completely eliminated the European delivery program altogether. So the dealer converted it to a 2021, which I'm glad of since I decided to change my color selection. I did get a decent price break.

That was part of the reason. The other reason was declining demand from American customers. More and more Americans are buying SUVs, and BMW makes all of its SUVs in the United States, so they can't do European delivery of those. I think it was a pretty hefty cost center for them to operate the program, and when everything shut down due to the virus, they used that as an excuse to finally eliminate It is a real shame. My daughter and I were really looking forward to it as it would've been a once in a lifetime adventure that also coincided with her birthday.
