Are you sure extended black panel for F10 will be the same as the one for 5 GT and 7 series? As an option for F10 it costs only 150 EUR (in Germany). I think it will look like the one we saw in the spy shots for new F10 M5 where black panel is only extended to the left and right but not up, meaning numbers will not go off. Would upload picture if anyone can explain how to do it here...

What's interesting is on page 52 of the new 5-Series brochure (page 27 of the pdf on the BMW USA website), there's a picture of the console with the following text:
"Black Panel Display shows the instrument cluster as a matte black surface when the ignition is switched off, with only the chrome rings of the circular instruments visible in 3-D. When the ignition is switched on, the graphics display lights up, showing the trip computer and Check Control information; below the four analog dials is a high-res, wide-formal Info Display." The brochure is posted on the website -- in case anyone is interested, click on Request Brochure and this is the new one with the X-drive models and M-Sport options listed http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte...Z9bSQjRu2a1rw= I pick my new 535iX on Thursday -- will see what I get, but I think marketing and manufacturing aren't on the same page. |

Is the march-pricelist released yet in any country?
Can't figure out if the current german pricelist is updated or not, but i guess so, it says "stand marz" at the top..? http://www.bmw.de/de/de/newvehicles/...?download=true The thing thats confusing me is, if this is the march-pricelist, how come the 6FL (USB-connection) isn't standard equipment as you guys stated?

Thank you, sorry for repeating myself, no doubt then that this is the rmarch-list, but how come the 6FL (USB-connection) isn't standard equipment as stated in this thread? |

Could be, but it seems we have a diversity of people here, and they've all been saying the same thing. Kind of unusual that GE gets less equipment than rest of europe.
Anyone got the hold of pics showing the Amazonitsilber Metallic and Champagner Quarz Metallic? Found nothing accurate on google.. |

On page 10 of this Mar11 pricelist, the 530xd is listed as having Auto Stop Start - anyone know if the 530xd will come to the uk?

so what is the consensus, do the 535i x drive (dec build) come with the extended black panel ( not the full black panel) ? so there is text below both speedo and Tach....

" Let us know what you get on your car. I have a September build 535xi and the brochure that was available at that time that I downloaded onto my computer also states that a black panel instrument display is supposed to be standard across the entire 5 series line from the 528i's up to the 550i's. I guess they weren't available at that time. Funny that they would have listed it in the brochure. Hmmm ..... a definite case of false advertising on their part though somewhere in the manual it states BMW reserves the right to make any changes at any time. Either way I don't think I'll miss this feature. At least I got the Combox. Congrats on your new car. You WILL love it and just in time for Christmas. |

If they advertised the black panel they should honor it. If a big enough complaint is made regarding the false advertising, I wonder if they can retrofit the black panel. Honestly, it bugs me that the current black panel isn't at least symmetrical. It's like a sore thumb that doesn't seem to harmonize with the rest of the car.

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but the new brochure that has xDrive models and M Sport package also seems to do away "Sport Auto" option (which was previously a $500 option)...and looks like all automatic cars will get the gear selector that was included with sport auto option, but paddles will be optional only on non-xDrive models....Kinda seems to me that the Sport Auto option really was no different, only provided paddles!?!
