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.
