Good find! :thumbsup: I'm kind of looking forward to a freshen up of the GSA, for 19. What I'd actually do if that happens... :dontknow::grin:

All (theoretically);impressive. But, I'd be happy if they just made it easier to change the low beam bulb. :revit:

If the headlight change is the result of a switch to an LED headlamp (finally), you won't need to worry about changing bulbs at all.

Cool--looks like there is no need to upgrade my lovely '16 yet again :grin:

 

Have you heard about the 2020 BMW T1000GT? This is what I'm waiting for--BMW's new 978cc triple, belt drive, 109HP, ABS Pro, ASC, Dynamic ESA, TPM, cruise control, LED w/ adaptive headlight, Dynamic Brake Light, 5.1g US fuel tank, heated seats/grips, electric windscreen, large TFT display w/ GPS and blue tooth connectivity, wet weight fully fueled 522lbs w/ MSRP $15,450 inc side cases, height-adjustable seat. No audio package, no central locking, no keyless ignition.

Looks as expected with TFT infotainment dash, but intake and exhaust location are different. Is a fully water cooled boxer motor coming?

Can't think why there would be. This new engine meets all the relevant noise standards and that's the only reason they'd want to add weight.

Will be interesting to see what comes of this. The past several boxer updates started with the GS and the following year the updated RT came to light.

 

We shall see.

Are you guys seeing a new TFT dash in that photo? It looks the same as my dash, unless you're counting the GPS as a "dash".

It's confusing because there is a picture of the current dash for comparison.

 

The possibly new version:

I'm a little skeptical, it appears to be taped up and the screen looks pretty dark.

 

Could be just for testing.

Is this for real, or are you pulling our collective leg?

Yes Noel is joking. He has aired this 'wish list' of his for some considerable time now..I huess hoping that BMW will pick up on it and build him one.

Oh, yeah. I see it now on second look. I'd agree that the "new" dash shown does not look production-ready.

Now for an update; (in case you hadn't seen it yet)
