No way!

Why would BMW leave us without the 535i? A engine like that is made for us EU citizens.

The 540i with it's old thirsty V8 is nothing for us smart and modern Europeans.

Bulls**t!
As always, we hear what we want to.

Noticed something interesting today...
I was passing the 2 BMW dealerships in the city and for the first time I have seen... neither of them had an E60 in the showroom. They had a few 3 series, 7, 6, and X3 but the 5 series and X5 were conspiciously missing.

Is this a coincidence or yet another indication that the facelift is imminent?

I hope that they information shortly on the US diesel offerings in the 5 er. I will do my bit to help our small precious planet that us Americans have been wasting in both environmental and political terms.

I was at a Boston dealership today and didn't see any regular 5s (only the might M5). They did have a 2007 X5 3.0... looks very nice . That gear shift will take getting used too though.

Yes, Wowe... your credibility on the forum will be blown forever if we don't get our information fix today (as you promised).
