So a member (that works at one of the US BMW plants) here has confirmed seeing the F10 in the US, at one of the plants. It's supposedly going to undergo some road testing here during the next few weeks....hopefully this member will chime in with more info.. 
What I've been told, it was under still in camo...tailights are not similar to the ones in the photos posted recently.....

Yes indeed man. I wish i was able to get up there and watch them test it during the holidays. Working on that. It's a black and white camo version and i believe its the second one at our facility. After the holidays, it will head to BMWNA in NJ for more basic road tests and other tests too. I have yet to see a spec sheet on the new F10.
The X5 M is a beast. It's testing at the plant as well and it looks good in the red color and sounds AWESOME!!! Maybe they will let us lease these. Haha - NOT!

Better keep my eyes peeled next month if I happen to be on the Northern part of the Garden State Parkway!

Any idea when the X5 M is being released? I'm getting my wife's X5 4.8 Sport this week, but would consider waiting if this is coming out soon.
