I apologize if this has been answered. Does anyone know when the final 530i with the N52 engine will be produced? Thanks.

For the USA, the 530i is being discontinued in the spring. All we will have available to us are the 528i, 535i, and 550i. I want one of the last produced(for US) 530i's. I don't want the turbo. Sometime in March is probably when the US 535 production will begin. I'm trying to time the ordering process to get the 530i. Hope this helps to explain.

Why are you looking for a 530i?

Because you hate turbos? You can always get a 528i, but the deals on the 530i are really good now.

I ordered a 530i on 12/11 and asked my CA to pick a production week in late January so I could take delivery in early March (my current lease is up in March). He emailed me a couple of days later and said all his January production slots got moved up to December. My car completed production on 12/19. I don't know if that means they are ending production early or simply trying to produce more cars. You probably need to check with a CA ASAP to see what is available.
