Production of the rock crawler is scheduled for the second half of 2029 at BMW’s plant in Greer, S.C., two people with knowledge of the plan told Automotive News.
The model, codenamed G74, is expected to ride on a variation of BMW’s midsize X5 crossover platform, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified when discussing the confidential plan.

You mean Grand Cherokee? Nothing based on the x5 platform is competing with the gwag

BMW is going to be shocked when they can’t get AT tires in a 35 profile.

According to Worldscoop, it's going to be called the X8.

…except even number models are coupe-style versions of the odd numbered models. think X6 to X5. so a coupe-style G-Wagon seems odd. 🤷🏻♂️

The key component is going to be a larger grill.
Everything else is secondary.

BMW is now all about massive nostrils, hideous designs and cheap-ass interiors.

Are they? Their last attempt to make an SUV halo car wasn’t great. That was the XM.

The XM has very massive nostrils, so much that I would be scared driving in front of one with my tiny Opel Corsa.

I can't say I have the same mindset as a saudi billionaire, but the X-5 just looks like any other SUV. I would imagine part of the charm of the G-wagen is that it doesn't look aything like any other SUVs, with the exception of maybe the Grenadier and Jimny.
