When does E61 cease production?

[scz4]

Just wondering when production ends on the current range (5 series touring), in particular the 520d or 530d M sport. What happens during the change over period? Are the E61's all snapped up by dealers and pre-registered or will it still be possible to spec a new car once the F10 is released at a bargain price (hopefully)? I guess the M Sport for the new model won't be released until 2011 or 2012.

Any pictures of the new M Sport estate? Any idea if the 123d twin turbo diesel engine will be an option?

Production will just stop, BMW will make up a certain amount of cars to the best selling spec. and offer them to dealers, this is when you start to see real savings, problem is these are always business nav and no hi-fi upgrade which is a bit annoying.

No pics of the F10 sport touring yet, in fact no pics of the F10 sport yet is there??
