Curious to know everyone's thoughts if modding will scratch the itch when a new model comes out? I'm not sold on the F95 (of course I've yet to drive or see it in person) and at times I'm tempted to mod a bit more to reignite the excitement of my F85. I've pushed off buying a new sports car by modding my E92 over the years and that seemed to scratch the itch (until recently.) I try not to be a habitual car buyer but the temptation is strong...
Had some pics taken recently and I think the F85 still looks sexy and relevant🏎

I agree the F85 isn't outdated yet and imo the E70 X5M isn't either. I'm kinda stuck In the same boat As far as this decision is concerned.

Agreed, I saw my old E70 the other day and I turned my head in traffic to check it out. Those fender flares were massive!

I only see slight difference in the exterior styling F95 over F85 and for sure the F85 will not be "outdated" from the exterior.
Only real differences I see (from pictures and posts) is an increased "power plant" and upgraded/newer interior electronics. I'm not sold on the new instrument panel set up at all, I've had a G05 loaner during a maintenance appointment and I was "underwhelmed" by it. I do have a 2015 F85 (owned) with extended warranty/maintenance for another 3+years and wasn't planning on being a first year adapter this time out, I'm glad I have to mechanical "protections" to keep my cost of ownership out of original factory warranty to a minimum. |

I agree the new X5M/X6M is not miles apart from my F85, and just to prove it after reading about the new ones I decided to rip and roar last night and I don't think I need another 32 horses but we'll see. I'll take a good long look when they arrive. One thing is for certain if I do find myself in a new one it will not be Alpine White.

I thought the F95 would look more aggressive. I've never been a fan of the rear tail lights as they remind me of a Ford People Carrier or Nissan SUV, nor the digital dash as it is the same in every BMW from 1 series to 7 series - nothing unique.
I don't think its a worthwhile upgrade from my 2018 F85 and on a bang for buck basis, when you can get a 1 year old F85 with 6k miles for 55% of the cost new then a F85 wins in my opinion. |

Honestly I was not a fan at all when I first saw the G05 in person... still not a fan.
However I did see the new X3M in person and wow, was it a beauty! I can only imagine what the F95 will look like in person. don't get me wrong I am still having doubts on the F95 based on the G05 appearance. Me personally LOVE the F85 in DG/MR and am in the hunt in for the right one with the lowest miles I can find and drive that till the F95 is ATLEAST 2 years old before even considering the F95. I mean the F90 is a nice looking sedan as well... so many options |

I agree with the above comments. I'll likely add some mods and see what the options are on the F95 in a couple years. Who knows, a test drive may change that route, but for now I think the F85 is still a head turner and a tire burner😎

I could be wrong but off the top of my head $70k+ sounds about right.

I saw it in person too and it reminded me of the E70 X5 and X5M I owned in the past in terms of dimensions and size.

Thank you! I'm trying to decide what the next mod will be. Im leaning toward a carbon lip and diffuser. 🤔
