2013 verses 2014 5 Series

Are there any rumors on changes to the 2014 5 series that would cause me to delay my purchase until next year? I know BMW will offer the multifunction instrument display as an option in the states on the 2014s so other than that, any reason to hold out?

Garage List
Diesel models may show up. Although that's probably more likely on the 3 series.

Facelift maybe, better yet - high probability.

Which means LED lighting, possibly moving side marker lights to the mirrors, redesigned tails (if the F01 LCI serves as an example), optional full LED gauges, maybe even the famous touch sensitive iDrive controller - in other words, tons to retrofit for the rest of us.

One member Milano posted a rendering on how f10 LCI might look like but the pic was gone shortly after... dunno why..

2014 will most likely also get the upgraded engines. 535i will go from 300hp/300ft lbs to 315hp/330ft lbs. 550i goes from 400/450 to 445hp/480ft lbs. And return better fuel economy.
