 Breaking Bmw News!



I was just on DCS.net... BMWNA's dealer site where we run locates, build cars and stuff like that. I noticed that they have started to add the MY07 5 series. I'm not sure what exactly is involved in programing the site, but I have noticed that it can take a few days for everything to be in there. For example... right now it says the only color available is Black Saphire. Currently BMW is listing the following models for MY07:

530i
530xiT
550i

With the following options:


Options:
ZCW cold weather package
ZPP premium package
ZPS premium sound package
ZSP sport package
205 automatic transmission
206 SMG-Sequential Manual Gearbox
217 active steering
261 rear side impact airbags
322 comfort access
416 rear electric sunshade
435 wood trim
453 front ventilated seats
456 comfort seats
465 fold down rear seats
494 heated front seats
496 heated rear seats
508 (PDC) Park Distance Control
541 active cruise control
609 navigation system
610 head-up display
611 night vision
653 HD radio
655 satellite radio
677 premium hi-fi system
775 anthracite headliner


Keep in mind they are in the middle of loading this info so I'm sure things are subject to change.

Things to learn from this so far:

It looks like there will be no 525i with the early MY07 5 series. Is this because BMW will no longer have three 5 series models (not including the M5)... or is it in preparation for the pending badge change?

I had hoped that we would see some official confirmation of the 3 series changes... but sadly... we will still have to wait.

Thats kinda stupid on BMW's part for no 525i. Thats the best-selling 5er I believe.

Since the 525 now has a 3.0l in it anyway ... does it really matter?

Speculation aside... based on the sources I have... what we are seeing is the elimination of the 525i only to replace it with a 528i. If they are right... we will have the 528/535/550/M5 line up take shape over the next 9 months.

I would think with gas prices what they are, we'd see a 520i or 525d before the elimination of the 525i.

Pretty sure the mileage numbers for the 525 and 530 are identical, so from a gas price perspective it wouldn't matter.
