I'm guessing (hoping) the 2013 5 series mirrors the updates for the X6. Power upgrade with the M Performance Package.
from the official BMW press release reported on the x site: http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=640153 The new M Performance Package As an additional option, the M Performance Package is available in the US. This attractive equipment package is not just cosmetic. It includes an engine upgrade of +15hp and +30 lb-ft of torque on the X6 xDrive35i giving it 315 hp and 330 lb-ft. The increase is +40 hp +30 lb-ft of torque on the X6 xDrive50i for total peak output of 440 hp and 480 lb-ft. In addition, the M Performance Package includes 20-inch light alloy wheels, black chrome exhaust tips, stainless steel pedals, M foot rest and door sills, shadowline exterior trim, anthracite headliner, and optional Carbon Black metallic paint. |

Bumping this thread....
I feel like dealers should be getting information regarding the 2013 cars soon since the M5 order guides are already out. I was planning on ordering my car sometime in May but if the 2013 cars are indeed going to have enhancements I am going to have to wait a little longer. The biggest possibility is the use of the N55HP motor with more power and possible interior electronic changes. Alan

Well my dealer just confirmed with me that July build F10's will be 2013. Just no details about them yet.
I was originally going to place my order this month but looks like i have to hold off for another month now. Alan

Some of the July part changes for the 2013 F10
Just because the part has changed does not mean the driver will be aware it is any different from the previous part. - New Windshield - New Light/Rain Sensor - New CIC ( Idrive Control computer) - New Idrive screen - New DVD Changer - about 5 Control units are being changed - M5 DSC unit is changing (probably to allow Carbon Cermic Brake option) - M5 gets B&O sound option ( May be a option on regular 5 aswell ??)

Any word on new colors or the Msport cars getting the N55HP motor like the LCI X6 Mperformance package and 640?

The 535i has the exact same engine as the 640i GC since March 2012 production except for the turbo charger So it will be a easy change if they want to change it.

Thanks for the update, E90Fleet!
My F11 will be MY2013 so I am hooked on this topic. Quote:

^^ I think he meant touch pad on the idrive knob. There were spy pics of the next gen X5 having some sorta touch pad on top of the idrive knob.

Having said that, I hope they don't introduce a touch screen with the current interior. I am perfectly happy with the current position and the size of that huge screen. As someone already said, changing it into a touch screen would require a complete redesign of the interior so it is more or less obvious that they won't bring it for MY2013. I would bet on a better resolution/contrast or better scratch/smudge resistance… |

No worries. Pretty certain bmw isn't changing the look of the interior/idrive at all.
I don't see bmw going touch screen ever. It would be cool if they made the idrive knob being able to draw letters/numbers or accept double taps as 'ok" etc... I don't expect anything crazy to change on the 2013 MY. I am just hoping for a nice power bump for both the 535 and 550 along with possibly new color combinations. Alan

Just came across this thread, and it explains why my dealer cannot get my order in for my new 530 , that I placed a week ago
He emailed this morning the following : "Unfortunately, I am unable to give you a delivery date at this time. It looks as if there is going to be a specification update in the near future and BMW will not accept the order until it is released. I will keep you informed of any updates to the order process. |
