Overview
- Fresh cold‑weather images show the facelifted G99 wagon testing with a reshaped nose featuring smaller kidneys, new headlight graphics, a mid‑mounted intake, and a larger lower opening.
- A visible charging‑port flap signals the plug‑in hybrid setup will continue rather than a return to a V8‑only powertrain.
- The prototype wears standard‑style mirror caps instead of M‑specific wing mirrors, and the tailgate glass appears fixed rather than separately opening.
- Interior revisions are expected to include BMW’s Panoramic iDrive at the base of the windshield and a new 17.9‑inch infotainment system running Operating System X.
- An official unveiling is not anticipated this year, with reporting pointing to production starting around mid‑2027.
