It?s been very quiet about it! It would be very interesting to know alittle more about it. Maybe some safety related changes?

Anyway - now the first M5?s has arrived to the dealers in Europe.

Mine is due in less than 2 weeks

Bad news from my dealer!

M5 production is STOPPED!

First cars to be produced in feb -05. Those cars will be demo cars for the dealers, not for customers.

First customer cars will probably start to be produced in march / april -05. :'(

If you put down an order today - production in sept -05?!

Must be a big reconstruction of the gearbox or electronics?

Very costly for BMW M.

All I know is that I went to order an M5 here in Belgium about Sept 2004, and the dealer told me what there was going to be a delay due to some software glitch. Basically, he stated "if you are in P400 doing 210 Km/h and you hit the M button for P500, the car went crazy. The management system did a Microsoft Windows!!" It is a complexed machine that proabably still needs testing.
