Some of you may be wondering if this will be available for the upcoming 2013 M5 which starts production in July. It is not.

It's no surprise that this new display won't be an option for the 2013 M5 as it did not appear in the 2013 Ordering Guide. BMW NA has confirmed this and says that it won't be available for the M5 in the immediate future.
Booo! Not a single F10 M5 has been sold to a U.S. customer yet and BMW is already failing to incorporate the latest advances into the vehicle. 2013 M5s are 2012s with expensive (and IMHO essentially useless) optional B&O Audio and carbon ceramic brakes. We deserved something more after being forced to wait a year longer than the rest of the world for this car. This is how BMW treats its largest M market.

I'd wait for the M6 Grand Coupe, which will surely incorporate some of the newer bells and whistles, but by the time it actually gets delivered to a U.S. customer I'll probably be on social security!
