katsbimmer · 02-19-2007, 06:47 PM

Was at the dealer today getting my first oil change and talked to one of the sales guys about the 5 series..he said 2007's he can't keep on the lot...so i asked him about the 2008....he said the motor will be the twin turbo from the 335's...guess i'll be waiting to check them out....he told me they should be out in a couple of months..

Yes, there will be a 535i with the N54 FI tt engine from the 335i. However, I don't know if the MY '08's will be "out in a couple of months;" more likely in Sept. though.

im surprised the 5 series is the same weight as the 335

heezyo2o · 02-19-2007, 07:08 PM

Should be out by april.

Interesting; it's like an '07.5, even though they'll call it MY '08 then.

thats really gay how bmw just came out with an 07 and they introduce a new style in a few months its like deja vu

canucklion · 02-19-2007, 09:13 PM

don't be

the 5er uses more lightweight material like aluminum to save weight, but the downside of that is repair cost is $$$$$$$$$$

Thats awesome with the 535i. Def going to keep my eye on that car.

just4kickz · 02-19-2007, 09:56 PM

are they gonna change the look too?

EVO_S4 · 02-20-2007, 12:08 AM

didnt we already talked about the 08 becoming 535i

ynotony · 02-20-2007, 02:02 AM

Man the 5-series gets screwed with new models. They keep the same engines as the old model until the three series gets updated. The 2004 525i has less power than my old 1994 325i! (although it is a better engine).

325 Baller · 02-20-2007, 05:52 AM

Hmmm you think the PROcede would work on it?

M3_GTR · 02-20-2007, 06:02 AM

old news.. but should be a awesome car!!

Chris.G · 02-20-2007, 06:21 AM

^ agreed

herbz · 02-20-2007, 07:26 AM

they need this for the 5 series to kickstart sales. 5 series has been slumping as a whole and the 5 series is a pretty big seller (2nd big after 3 series).

toolfan · 02-20-2007, 12:16 PM

Obvously the 3 series is BMW's biggest seller, its the price point. Go to BMWUSA.com and check out "future vehicles" This has been out for a few weeks and it shows the pictures of the vehicle and the stats. The 5er has been coming out in the spring time for a while now.

shragon · 02-20-2007, 06:41 PM

yea, the 3's and 5's have always shared engines, so of course it'd happen eventually.
