The 2010 is the same as the 2008 and short lived 2009 as far as looks go. The new options that you can order are:

- M Sports Package ZMP (consists of aerodynamic kit, m-door sills, m-footrest, anthracite headliner, m-logo on steering wheel, 134 wheels ) I am not 100% sure about the wheels.
- New iDrive software when navigation is ordered. The new controller and hard drive based unit come with this.
- Aluminum Pentan Trim

I think that is the bulk of the new options you can order. And as far as I know, they started producing 2010 models in March for end of April delivery to the dealerships.

I do not know why the web site has not been changed yet to show the 2010 model, but maybe they just have not updated it yet. They might be waiting until the 2010 start showing up at the dealerships before they change the website.

I have attached the 2010 ordering guides for the 5 and 6 series.

The 2010 5 Series is still the E60. BMW is currently producing the 2010 model. The new 5 Series, the F10, is expected to debut next year as a 2011 model.

As I understand it, there are no major changes from the 2009 to the 2010 E60. The biggest change is that, with the purchase of the Nav system, the I-Drive is upgraded from the 2009 DVD based system to the hard disk-based next gen-I Drive which is supposed to have improved software that is easier to use and faster (owners of the new 7 can vouch if the new I-Drive system really is better and, hopefully, faster). I believe that the Sport Packgae for 2010 also comes with the antracite-colored headliner -- a change that BMW also did for the last year of the E39 540i Sport package prior to the rolling out of the E60.

For the 2010 E60, BMW also added a value package which, depending on the model you buy, gives you several set options for free, which is really a de facto price cut.
