It's not an option listed on the order guide. I saw somewhere that a NA version was being developed for US & CA markets.

I personally don't like it -- looks too much like what you find in a FORD. Too distracting in my opinion.

Hi all newbie here in the uk.
Got a big discount through my company car scheme for the current 5 series so have ordered one today before prices go back up for the LCI. 520d se sport auto, deep sea blue oyster/black interior, full black panel display, sunroof, sport steering wheel, ambient lighting, power folding mirrors, sun protection glass - works out to about £3000 discount over 3 year company lease. Hoping to receive it asap. Thought about jaguar xf, new eclass, bmw x3, but the 5 series won in the end due to better spec for the same price n it just drives better than the others. Thoughts welcome!

Here in Oz, BMW Head Office are throwing $10,000 discount into the melting pot for 2013 production pre-LCI runout models. But .... they need to provide that incentive as we pay approx 22% Luxury Car Tax + 10% Goods & Services Tax, then 4% Stamp Duty (Triple Ouch!). Then they might give you the keys.

Dealer in Nebraska Just threw this my way. 550i Exec, M sport, DHP, Lux. Seating, SAT w/paddles, Driver Asst., Cold weather. MSRP $78,445 and initial cap cost of 70,995. $725 BMW Fee, $399 Dealer Fee, $17 title fee, 7 MSD's and 1st month up front... $770 per month including taxes. If the car wasn't Jet Black I would've already taken delivery. The tranny and rear end in my SUV went out the other day so I had to pass on the deal. ***Oh, and was quoted $599 for the wheel and tire warranty!!!
