When can we order the 535d? My wife's 335d is up in August! Any hope to get one by then?
Thx

It's so lame that they try to market a regular 320d as 328d and a 530d as 535d in the US.
If people judge a car by the number glued on its trunk lid they better don't buy a BMW. Actual Bi-Turbo *35d makes 313PS and 465 lb/ft. That *30d is not weak by any means, a wonderful machine but it's not a *35d. Why all that trickery |

I was always a sedan type of person, but wanted to try a coupe to get it out of my system. So decided on an M3. The M3 is a great car but being my daily driver got a little tight and got me into a lot of trouble with law enforcement. So now want to get back to a bigger more luxurious vehicle with some power. I had a 2008 550i m-sport when the LCI came out, so seems like I'm due for the new LCI changes.

And Active Protection for Pedestrians is what? External Airbags? A big hand that pops out of the roof grabs a ped in front lifts him up and puts him down behind the car as it flies along at 100 mph?

Yes, that does appear to be the case. Someone mentioned in another thread that the single-turbo engines were essentially already compatible with our emissions requirements for passenger cars. The twin-turbo versions would presumably have required more R&D in order to be certified for the US. I don't care for the model name changes, but I suppose that was an inevitable marketing tactic. |

Guess I'm picking up an LCI F10 M5 before they kill off the 6-speed in that car also. |

I suspect the US version is tuned differently to account for the fact that diesel fuel here tends to have a lower cetane rating than european diesel.

Why would the six speed be phased out on the 550, but not on the 535 I wonder?
Very glad to have gotten a 2013.
