Its not the "material" change, jsut something else changing in July, though it affects all F10, not just M5.

Power reduction in the car is not really that big an issue. Obviously it's a sensitive topic so that's why they stated no changes there. |

not sure if it's related but my windscreen was a little scratched when the car was delivered, barely visible scratches from tree leaves or something. Dealership tried to put a 5 series windscreen but didn't work and they said that they have to order from Germany because "M5 has a very advanced windscreen". It was eventually delivered and replaced, everything is fine now.

But you need the correct one for your options, like HUD and lane departure. Nothing special about the M5 alone as far as windshields are concerned.

In Canada, I spoke to my dealer this morning (fact to face) on the pending July announcement on upcoming changes to the M5 (MY2013). His contact @ BMW Canada head office says it's no longer the case as there will be NO electronics changes at all, not even the nav.. The only change is most likely be the latest software will be updated for the car. That is !
For those who are hoping & waiting ... No need to wait anymore. Last edited by bobblehead; 04-27-2012 at 05:34 PM.. |

When u guys say windscreen, is that synonymous with windshield? Im getting confused thinking the windscreen is something included if you have HUD.

He was the one told me (back in March) about the July bulletin in the first place. I asked him why did BMW Canada released such statement when about 2 months later he was told by same people @ BMW Canada that they should not have issued such bulletin.
Anyway, his clients have also been asking this topic and he already told them no changes will happen at all. In any case, he already said the wait time is now up to late July to early August delivery, if ordered today. Therefore, posssible minimal damage or not ?? is done to those who is going to order one. He did say most of his clients do not care much to the possible electronics changes ... they just want to grab the car ASAP and enjoy the car over the summer months. Quote:

Look at Jason's post above where he gets an answer from BMWNA about the changes. It's nothing material at all - just underlying electronics changes and not customer facing things.

Whether this will be noticeable to the driver is another story, but the changes are scheduled.
