So I read they're already on an F10 iteration for he new 5 Series...probably even further along since the article. Anyone know more about this? I'm curious how drastic the updated version is going to look.

The F10 should hit at right about the 5 years of ownership mark for me... I'm hoping BMW does their job well enough that I'll need to really struggle to -not- run out and buy one right away.

I get very attached to cars and hang on to them forever...even when it's not worth it...sometimes. However, one can always keep the old car and buy the newer version, I suppose.

BoBoB,
When I read your topic title I thought you had gone mad and gotten rid of your e60 in favor of a brandnew Ford F-Series.

Hey, we talked on Sat. about your M-Kit modifications and you said that it is possible to order each part separately. You don't happen to know the partnumbers for the front bumper and side skirts??

Interesting link. Can't see the point in worrying about this - all things must change.
