Release Date for the F10
Ok, so I spoke to my BMW dealer in Germany a week ago. I was asking him if he had any new info on the next generation 5 Series. So he called Munich directly and they told him that the 2010 5 series will only have the new I-Drive system. The new model wont be released until 2011, or maybe even 2012. You heard it from the horses mouth. My heart broke when I heard the news. I put a deposit on the 2010 model but I guess I have to go for the X6 now. Sorry People, we are just going to have to wait a little bit longer.............

Hrm, somehow I doubt they would just release the year of the next model like that. Given the new camo shots that came out, it seems on track for a 2010 release date, either for the end of this year or September 2010 as a 2011 model.

They need to give the 7 time to air a little. They won't step on the 7 launch with the 5 so quickly. The market needs time to digest each model, both for internal reasons (the organization can't launch 2 hugely important lines at the same time) and also for marketing reasons. With finite budgets, BMW has to make sure the world notices each launch and absorbs the newness. Regardless of how ready this car is to go, they'll hold it a bit. Plus, in this economy, amortizing the current 5 for that much longer is plain smart business.

My assumption is that the new 5 will be out in the spring of 2010. That can't be off much considering both the status of the current prototypes and the fact that the last gen 5 came out in 2003. Best regards, south

How did you place an order? My dealer is telling me that pricing is not out yet and its not possible to place an order yet. Do you have a production number?
