My Ride: 2010 Lexus HS 250h...looking to get a 2011 535xi

Just thought I'd reset the thread a bit:

Anyone heard anything more specific other than (May production for June Delivery) for the 2006 525.530xi's. My dealer is still telling me they haven't yet received pricing or notice of their allotments yet (and hence I can't place my order yet...

)

I'm dying here...patiently awaiting to return to the BMW family....

I asked my dealer about doing a ED for a 06 530i, he said that the first set of new models come to the dealer first and that ED would be offered later...

Anyone else hear of this???

The UK site is listing the 'new' engines - so earlier than May I suspect?

523i (2.5l 'detuned' 174bhp)
525i (215bhp)
530i (258bhp)
545i (333bhp)

Just waiting for the updated diesels

Oh, and the 540i (3.6l v8) and 550i (4.8l v8) replacing the 545i

Does the UK website show a cost increase for the new engines (Did the base price increase from what it used to be on the UK website)?

I believe another post covered this. A small increase... (But worth it!)
