My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
Anyone know if the F10 going to be at the NY Auto Show in April 2010? Hopefully BMWCCA-NY has their special presentation again. Also when will the MSport package be available in the US? The photos of the standard car looks to homogenized.
It does look like there is a proper balance between the 535 and 550 again, where 100HP and 1 second 0-60mph separates them.

I think the M Kit sport package for the new 750 was released about 6 months after the launch of the standard model (in the U.S.). Does that sound about right? I wasn't following the new 7 series too much.
So I would guess we will see the same timing with the new 5 series ... M kit sport package available by year-end 2010?
Is the NY Show in April? Geneva in March? If so, then yes we may see the F10 in NY!!
Edit: On the other hand, I see that the new 550i GT already has the sport package available (but I don't think it has a special body kit yet).

lets HOPE this time around BMWNA doesnt f*******k us like they usually do with sport packs...Remember, we didnt get the package and the paint for many years thanks to BMWNA, so while BMW AG will surely announce the M-sport for the rest of the world within a few months of production, we may be forced to accept the BS again and have to jump through hoops to order and buy the kit and have it painted and installed locally :thumbsdown:

I hope so, but I dont think the car has been "officially" launched as of yet. I would guess the world debut of this car would be at a major European autoshow. NY isn't considered a major show for whatever reason.
