     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Hi here's detailed ordering guide for MY2012 M5, the prices are not there yet, however all detailed options are there. Too bad we're not getting Frozen silver colour. ENJOY.

Canada gets the F10 M5 before the US, with a certain limited allocations of 2012 model year M5s available (March 2012 build for April delivery).

This is for Canada only so US friends do not take it for your specs.

The US spec unit may have less stuff included and also a cheaper price and more individual options allowed.

For example all Cdn cars come with Cold weather package as you can imagine.

We can get the Frozen colours, it is just a ZSP special order and special pricing. There are a few frozen M3 up here now.

This beast has reached malaysian shore. Saw one on trailer today. Priced at rm 898,900. Usd 1=rm 3.04. Do the calculation.

Congratulations, Canada. You get it first.

Um, who told you all Cdn cars come with the Cold weather package?

You're not one of those Americans that thinks that all Canadians live in igloos are you?!

I'm sure that the standard and option lists will be different for the US, but two quick observations:

"Please note that BMW USA announced availability of the M5 Sedan in the U.S. market as a MY2013 as of July 2012 production. BMW Canada’s M5 production will follow the same model year schedule. Also note that there is a material change expected to the M5’s vehicle electronics as of July 2012 production. The change will not impact the output or performance of the M5. Additional details of the change will be available in the later part of Q2 2012. With the model year and vehicle electronic changes expected as of July 2012 production, please ensure your customers consider this information before placing an order between 03/12-06/12 production."

That electronics change is likely one of the reasons for the delayed US introduction.

I also thought it interesting that the presumably higher-cost "individual" leather does not include as much leather as the "full" leather. Look closely and you'll see that the individual colors do not include individual upper dash or upper door sections.

Yeah, this was covered in an earlier post by a disgruntled customer who ordered an Individual interior and wouldn't accept delivery upon this discovery. Bummer.

Regarding the Individual leather, I have a pending issue regarding that matter. Due to an error from my dealership they told me that if i wanted the leather upper dashboard and upper door sections I would have to order Individual leathr, which I said at the time makes no sense at all. Anyway they told me it had to be like that and now the car is here and I refused the car. They are currently working on a solution, which is to strip all of the car interior and install a new one, which I refused as I don't want my car interior to be completely disassembled and reassembled even before taking delivery. Most likely they will have to order a new car and try to sell this one... After a 3 month wait, I'll have to wait even more. Luckily I will get one of the July production!

Well, you posted right before me! I am the "unlucky" client... Breaks my heart to to not take delivery of such an amazing car, but I am not willing to accept the car unless it is as I spec'd it!
Regards!

So I take it you're not going to get an Individual interior this time around?

I find it extremely odd that you can't combine extended leather and Individual interior. Maybe BMW will change that in future production years.

Yeah I found it weird to get the full leather treatment Individual does not get you there.

You need to order the Full merino std colors.

Did you ditch the 911 for an M5?

No, as of now would not trade it in, still really enjoy it. I did trade another car we have and a motorcycle. I am trying to thin out the fleet.
