I recieved a BMW Product Strategy Outline on the 08 5 Series and it was CLEARLY stated that the 535i/xi will Start Production in September, 07. Your dealer should have told you that!

This is where there are potential problems with having US and RoW MY's out of synch.

So much confusion. MY 2008 in USA starts from March '07 production for 528i/xi, 535i/xi and 550i. At the beginning 535i/xi only come in automatic transmission. Manual transmission is available on 535i/xi started 9/07. Attached find the official Dealer Product bulletin which spells it out ( courtesy Jon of Bimmerfest)

If I will have to extend my lease until August.
If you order a September built E60 you willl get the genuine EU MY '08!
I sure hope, that at this point also EU will get the N54 535i!

My Ride: 2011 BMW 328xi Sports Wagon w/ premium, sound, nav, ipod, manual trans
Thank you everyone - RD@VA, bmw1986 - for the clarifications and information. While I am disappointed that I won't have my first 5-series for summer, at least I won't get totally hosed on a money factor that's frankly more than it should be for this model line.
So, in a nutshell, it'll work out.
I'm definitely getting the iPod option.
