There not in this job to only make you happy, but to sell cars every month and make money.
If they told all prospective customers, most would want a March 07 onwards car and they wouldn't sell much of the production in between unless they discount it nicely.
Unfortunately, that's the way it is.

Why would they tell you ?

So do as Ralp_NL said, negotiate some nice extras or accessories and then you are OK.
If we would wait for all the new inventions of BMW we would never buy the car
also normally each Sept tehy raise the prices by 7% as far as I remember that is why I did not wait for mag engine with piezos but I do not regret it there is always a next time

Would you really want to be the 1st in the modified model, bearing in mind the problems early adopters have?.
Better to wait until a year or so, when BMW may iron out the 'new' bugs, which there are bound to be..

My Ride: BMW 530i 05
M-technic Silvergrey whith beige dakotaleather
It is not a new model only new design And yes it is a new engine but remember that engine debuted now in the 335 and they have a half year to improve it or to solve upcoming issues.
I am going too buy it becouse if you look at BMW,Benz,Audi,Volvo you name it, the best and most quality cars is from the facelift and so are the resale value. If I get my 535I I will for sure keep it until the next facelift of the F10 becouse I dont whant to be a testpilot anymore for BMW
If you look at facelifted E39 with 3 liter Diesel or petrol engine and whith good options you can get it under 18000€

My Ride: 2000 E320 Wagon 4MATIC
So what does the touring get now? 528, 530, or 535?
Maybe there will be 2 models brought out. I see the 530 got a small power increase, to 260hp?
