April 2010 the F10 will be launched in Germany. The F11 (touring) will come in the Autumn.
I know the UK always gets screwed by a few months. Not sure about the US.

530i 272PS 3.0L
540i 306PS 3.0L Turbo
550i 407PS 4.4L V8 BiTurbo
520d 180PS 2.0L
525d 210PS 2.0L BiTurbo
530d 245PS 3.0L
535d 299PS 3.0L BiTurbo
M5 550PS 4.8L V8 (Launches beginning of 2011, there won't be a touring)

either way, I can't wait to tap that engine...oh, and I just recently read in Automobile magazine that the expected debut of F10 is for Fall 2010 (Frankfurt show, if I'm not mistaken).

I'm amazed this hasn't sparked more of a discussion. For the last 2 years everyone's wanted to know when the F10 will launch and when I tell you when it is, nobody reacts. Weird.

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
The car (F10) we will see at Frankfurt Car Show next fall as a Concept car.
The M5 will have the X5 and X6 M engine (TT 4.4 l V8) that has in practice whatever power.
I'm most interested about the torgue ratings in the new 525d TT 2.0 engine?
A wild guess is about 450 Nm at 1300 - 2300 rpm.

The M5 won't be a 4.4 liter, it'll be a 4.8 liter with 550PS
There was no mention of the torque from the new engines, just the (PS) horsepower (see first post).

My Ride: 1985 325e (sold it in 1996) // 2001 Z3 2.5 / White / Blk Lthr / 5-spd (wife's) // 04 530i / Metallic Blk / Beige Lthr / 6-spd / Logic7 / 19" 166 Michelin Pilot Sp
So no more 535i, instead a 540i? Is that right?

Next fall meaning the autumn in '09, at Frankfurt.
I doubt the 4.8 l fact. No idea in that, since they just developed the new 4.4 l twin-turbo M-engine.
Actually 2.0 l L4, 3.0 l L6 and 4,4 l V8 is all BMW needs.
But turbo and twin-turbo 1,2 - 1.4 l L4's will come for the 1-series and Mini's
and TT 6.0 l V12's are a fact for the R-R and the 7-series, plus the hybrids, of course.

Probably. That'd make the most sense.
I can't imagine them making a mistake about the 4.8L. If that's what they're saying it's going to be, then it must be.
