Anyone know when more models will be selling in the U.S.? I see the 535 and 550 on there, but I think a 528 model is also due? Seems like I remember reading that it may be out in September, but I cannot seem to find that info now.

Thanks

The 528i will come for sure.

And I'm pretty sure the 535d and the Hybrid will also come for the US market,
as soon as they are ready to be launched.

The new F10 535d +300 hp engine and 8-speed auto tranny has already been sold to the US police car manufacturer Carbon Motors by the thousands.
To be exact the number is 240 000(!) engines and transmission. The deal was signed in March this year.

The new police car will be called the Carbon E7.

Can't remember where I saw it but the 528 will follow a couple of months after the 535 and 550.

Yes, I went back and re-read that and all it says is the 528 will follow later this year. But I seem to remember reading somewhere that the 535 and 550 were June and the 528 was August...

I believe that was stated in one (maybe more) of the car reviews posted when they did that initial press junket in Portugal. Those are the same reviews that stated the price of the f10 models will be similar to e60 model prices

It's unlikely we'll see a diesel version of F10 in the US any time soon. I read somewhere that it won't happen in 2011 and also probably not in 2012, unfortunately.

My money is on BMW never bringing the F10 535d to US shores.
