I'll wait for the changes and the 2013 model year designation. Ordering now still won't get a car here in Canada for 2 months (minimum) so I ink I can live without July/August driving. Others are hot to get the car though, so I can see why they might want to skip the latest updates.

My dealer has informed me yesterday that the changes have in fact been cancelled by BMW.
I do believe that there will be more options like ceramic brakes and B+O sound...

These options already show up in the M5 ordering guide recently posted

In Canada, we are getting the 2012 M5 and they do not have either of these options and we don't have 2013 ordering guide yet

All control module , senor and windshield changes from July are still scheduled and most new parts have already been allocated new part numbers.
These are not items most personnel at dealers usually know anything about, nor may they be something most drivers would notice.


Couple rumors around that the M6/F30 M Sport steering wheel may also become available on the M5

while I was talking more about the M5 (MY2013) info., I was asking my sales to see if full LED lighting will be an option or available and he replied back it will most likely not in the M5 but he thinks it will be in the M6 GC. Now, it got me thinking of doing that route but obviously, everything he says is not confirmed.

He did promised me once any 6 GC and M6 GC info is made available this summer, he will immediately email me. He already had 2 purchasers submitted their deposit for the M6 GC without knowing anything at all.

More Confirmed changes

The CIC (Idrive control computer) and Idrive Screen will change from July Production.
The DVD Changer is also scheduled to change

This may just be a hardware change and not something drivers may notice.
The Idrive Controller is not yet listed as changing

The DSC unit will also change.
This is most probably to allow compatibility with the Ceramic brakes now listed on the M5 as options.

thanks for the info

I'm assuming some of these 2013 changes will trickle down to the normal F10's as well in July?

Yes, most are for all F10, not just M5
