My Ride: '05 530i, Premium, Steptronic, Logic7, Silver grey-black leather. Build date 12/7/04.
Can someone give their best estimation on when the 5 will be re-designed?(2010? 2011?) I'm formulating my future buying plans and juggling multiple scenarios. Thanks!

You should be fairly safe with your assumption of 2010 to 2011. The E34 5 series ran from 1988 through to 1996 when the E39 was launched. The current E60 was launched in mid 2003 so a 7 to 8 year life cycle is the norm for this model.

Have been wondering the same thing and am thinking maybe 2010 as a 2011 model year. I won't be an early adopter again however so I am thinking maybe I'll get a new 5 in 2012 or 2013.

I prefer the old 7.? The new design looks good, but has a bit of lexus in it.
