Thanks for finding out. I wish we did not have to go to such lengths to discover basic information. BMW acts like "oh we had a Bowers & Wilkins option in the M5?"

I'd like to know if they ever plan on bringing B&W back at all at this point.

B&W themselves needs to be brought back. They're not exactly running strong as a company these days.

So much for being available in January apparently. My May built M8 is stuck with HK.

With Donington exterior and Tartufo interior now also gone (M5 anyway... can still get Tartufo for M8), there really isn't much left to drop... that anyone would want anyway. I also noticed the disclaimer that "leather" means just the seats and "leatherette" (whatever the hell that is) may be used elsewhere. I don't remember seeing that disclaimer before. I think it's a safe bet BMW has gone full dgaf and is banking on their other models. M5 just doesn't seem to be any kind of priority now. But hey, they slapped together a bunch of crap and called it the CS, so I guess we have that.

And the M8 LCI pretty much just got a two inch larger I drive screen and that's really about it. And I think maybe shadowline trim, part supply permitting. But a bunch of other stuff was deleted. Despite several dealers telling me, BMW is saving parts for their more expensive cars. Clearly not the case.
