what? they got a 3 page product development guide , no prices whatsoever
Why not try to describe what's in it rather than the billion things that could be missing?

My Ride: 2005 545i SMG, silver grey, black dakota leather
Default

I just returned from the local BMW dealer after taking a manual 335i coupe for a test drive (sweet car BTW). I asked about the facelift and more specifically about the 535i timeline. I was told for the U.S., March builds and April availability. Further, I was told 335xi and 535xi versions were coming as well. Not sure if this is news or accurate, just wanted to pass it along. I am growing tired of my 05 545i SMG (can't warm up to that tranny) and will pobably make a move this spring. The twin turbo six should be a real good fit for the 5'er IMO.

The only way that would happen by the skin of its teeth would be if builds started 1st March and were delivered bu 30th April.

Unless part of the process for US delivery is speeded up.

Wowe,

It is Monday and we are all waiting with anticipation. Please do not disapoint us, because the stakes are high!

My Ride: 535d m sport - 9 Weeks to go!!
Default

Now been watching this thread very quietly for some time. I, like many others have delayed my order waiting for 'news' of the face lift, I have ?1000 sat in a dealer bank account earning them interest!!! Would be interesting to know how many people are genuinely holding off for news of an updated car. I had originaly ordered a fairly well speced 535d m sport, my dealer was happy to delay and stated that they would know about any week 9 facelift by the 25th of Jan - surprised to hear that we could be seeing something today.......

I think you did the right thing, especially as you're ordering a 535d... We'll probably get some confirmation soon!

Like you, I am waiting for the facelift to be available before I order.
It it were available a few months ago, I would have gone ahead with an order.

So there are others in the same boat :-)

It's annoying to have to wait isn't it?
