So ... Expect F10 5er to come with even more powerful I6 bi-turbo (eg 330hp) and xDrive. And that's only 30hp less then current V8 550i - while F10 will be lighter & have better gearbox, and therefore better performance. |
I think we are getting the 535xi as well, just no manual transmission till September. I was thinking of trading my 3er, but the wife will kill me, besides we are getting the X5 by the end of the year.
2010 is still 3 years away and anything can happen. If they throw in the 4.4 litre V8 into the 550i, then that is going to make it complicated for me.
Don't ask me, but you know North Americans are power crazy, so I might still settle with the 550i and use the wifes' X5 during winter time.
Once again, thanks for your response.
