Any delayed introduction of technology bells and whistles on the new 5er? Anything missing right now? If so, what, and when will they introduce?

Tomahawk cruise missile.....new option on the 2012's.

....that'll get rid of those pesky E-Class.

AG 614 Internet...

It is suppose to integrate online content via Bluetooth (uses your cell phone as a gateway). According to some BMW people in Sweden there are some bugs that needs to be flushed out. The option doesn't cost anything extra it just prepares the car for future tech..

I have also heard something about being able to play DVD content (I would assume that you would need Nav. Prof. for that one).

The really interesting thing with the F10 is that the owner will be able to upgrade some software via USB integration. It will be nice to learn more about that feature later on...

Self parking technology. Already being tested on some F10 prototypes.

Something similar is already available on the F10's called Parking Assistant....you still have to control the gas and the brake but the car does the rest.

The Internet feature is one I'm interested in -- if I order in January will I be able to get that?
