Yes but the F10 will debut as a 2011 model year. The E60, still in production, is now in the 2010 model year.

2011 because that's a model year. the actual car will come out in 2010. same like if you buy new 5 right now it will be a 2010 car.

nice shots, but still hard to tell how it's going to look.. i expect the tail lights would be similar to those in new 7. and the front will probably look similar to 5 ser GT

Yes, the prototype is wrapped is so many concealing fake body panels that there is no way to tell what it really looks like.

You are correct Pingy. In HK, UK, etc., it will be plated 2010 I suppose. We crazy Americanos want to control the future so much we can buy our '11s in '10.
