Doubt we'll see that in the U.S....
Wouldn't be surprised if a 540i eventually showed up though. The new 528i with the turbo-4 is at 0-60 in 6.0s which is not too far off of what the 535i will do. Nearly as much torque and a good bit less weight (peak power doesn't matter a whole lot just for 0-60). Some additional separation between the 528 and 535 with a 540 model would indeed make some sense. I'm guessing MY2013 at the earliest. Doubt they'd wait all the way until the LCI for the F10.
