The info below came from a dealership employee on another forum from a dealership bulletin that went out on 2/24:
BMWNA released a dealer bulletin today clarifying some AWD 5-series features and specifications.
Here are the key points:
-The wagon will be AWD only. No RWD is planned.
-AWD will be available only on 6-cylinder cars
-Active Roll Stabilization, Active Steering, and SMG Gearbox are NOT AVAILABLE on AWD cars.
-Xenon headlights will be standard equipment on 530 models, optional on 525.
-Power Liftgate will come in the 530xit Premium Package
-Sport Package will include Shadowline Exterior Trim and Sport Seats. The standard wheel and tire package will be carried over to the Sport Package for all-weather capability. For customers that so desire, upgraded wheels with Performance tires will be a stand-alone option available on top of the Sport Package. On the 525xi, the wheel/tire will be the same as the 525i Sport. On the 530xi, the wheel/tire will be the same as the 530i Sport.
-Sport Package WILL NOT include a Sport Suspension.
