NEW 5 SERIES SALOON

[Jonny TVR]

My 57 plate 535D M SPEC is due to be changed in November. Just been looking at the new 5 on the website and its not available as an M spec and there is no 535D. Why is this? or are there other versions due later .. and when is the M5 due out?

[DennisCooper]

Yes, you've answered your own question!

The 'Sport' models will be announced later and will probably be marketed as the same 'M Sport' spec. I too was wondering why there's no 535d option, looks like BMW have re-jigged the lineup for launch and it's just the 530d available. I hope they do announce a 535d later too!

The M5 is due to be announced in early 2011 I think it is. More than likely UK cars will be made and be in showrooms etc some months later.

So, all are going to be forthcoming models !

Cheers, Dennis!

The M-Sport is available to order from Sept. apparently, and the new one will be the 540d the same as the 740d using the new block.

Which is actually not a 4.0L engine just to confuse further!

A 540D M Sport it is then. However if I order in Sept wonder if I can get delivery at the start of Dec .. doubt it.
