I heard on the news today that the US is mandating new & improved mpg starting with model year 2012 cars.
I heard the new minimum is going to be 35mpg, probably hwy.
So, my question is I was going to eye 2011 5-series, but now I'm thinking that I should wait 'til the 2012 model year comes out?
What's the board's opinion?

I would buy an E60 now and defer the models that meet the new standards for as long as possible. A mandatd significant change in technology like this puts a strain on designers and manufaacturers capabilities to put out a trouble free reliaable product. I would predict a couple of model years to work out the bugs.
