Anyone have any information regarding Sale dates for the F10 in the US? Any idea on when we can order?

I got tired of hearing this question so I just decided to call the BMW European delivery department.

While they had no information about deliveries of the 2011 5 Series, I decided to ask when was the latest time I could order a 2010. The rep stated end of February, with latest pick-ups in April. To me this means that we're getting the F10 sooner rather than later.

Anyone know any hints on pricing? Should we expect the same price (give or take a few hundred) for the new model?

Yeah, I just read that too.

Unless BMWNA just changed things on Friday, I can't understand why they would do this.....
1) the E60 costs a lot more to build while the F10 is super-inexpensive?? I really hope that's not the case...
2) They are trying to use reverse psychology in order to sell more E60s before the F10 debuts? That would be the preferable rationale.

Edit:
Yes, its true. I don't know how BMW is going to sell mid-size sedans up against the new E-Class. My source confirmed the article from Bimmerfile in the form of a memo from BMWNA to all dealerships dated 9/30/09. Also, rollout of the F10 begins in June for the 535 & 550, with the 528 available one month later. I believe all Xi models, including the GT, are delayed past this for a bit.

Happen to know estimated date/show of the reveal of the F10? I hope standard features have been improved...such as xenon on the 528.

I hate that these near $50k cars do not have xenon standard (not just speaking of BMW).

Car should be unveiled on January, with the massive promoting by the Geneva show. Prices should be available by January too

I had high hopes for the new E-class but honestly its design both interior and exterior are terrible and looks like something from 1980s. I hope the F10 will not dissapoint! I am looking forward to a 550i Euro Delivery in June.

What's the latest on whether the F10 wagon will be available in the US?
Is the 5-GT going to be our only choice?

And there was mentioned in some magazine that first press photos should appear end of November.

We will have them the week of Thanksgiving.... expect the strip show to progress until then.

Car shown in January and we will begin to see them in March at dealers. The wagon still has not been confirmed for the US.

5 GT to be at dealers around the same time as the F10 is shown in photos. US will get the V8 only until spring- N55 to be released in the refresh of the X5 and the new F10 5er first.
