2016 5 Series Production- New B58 Engine or Last Year's Engines

palpatine_us · 07-24-2015, 11:19 AM

Does anybody have any information if the 2016 5 series will feature the New B58 3.0L inline 6 cylinder turbo engine- 540???

Or are they saving the engine for the completely new 2017 Model?

Thanks, Guess I'll pick up a 2015 then. No other major changes.

Also, 2016 is an extended model year with end of production for F10's currently set for October 2016.

I happen to love the F interior.

Slightly OT, but related to 2017...

Do you like the way the F interior encloses the idrive screen versus the ugly immobile tablet screen on the G?

Or, do you think the tablet screens are better design?

IMO the F10 hooded screen is much better - classier and is better shielded from direct light. It's actually one of the reasons I went with th F10 over the Audi A6.

+1 on the F10 interior

There are a few tweaks to the standard options / packages on the MY16 that I think are an improvement over the MY15. Minor stuff but if you were considering ordering might be worth it.

+1 on the F10 interior. I actually prefer the F10 to even the F01. Mainly just because the door handle pulls are in a better spot on the F10.
