Re: 2010 - new 5 series pricing
hey, you book so early and you're thinking about LCi now. lol
at least i am thinking of going for the facelifted version right from the start cos i still love my E60 a lot (the real reason is money not enough la)

:juggle: It would be great if I could have a new car with every new model change or face lift. The reality is that I would probably stick to the F10 for quite a while. Current car will be nearly 5 at the end of year so the timing's just right for me. Plus, the way that COE prices are going, who knows what the price of the LCI will be in 3-4 years.
Perhaps when the LCI is introduced, the 528 would be widely available or, hope upon hope, a twin-turbo version of the 2.5l engine.

Re: 2010 - new 5 series pricing
Can't really blame them. The pre-order period at the introductory pricing (before the 2nd March COE exercise) was only for about 1.5 weeks yet I understand that about 280+ orders were gathered.
Even with the price increase of $14k, there is no risk to prospective owners since they would be able to lock in the pricing yet benefit from any COE increase. Plus, they still have the option to cancel. If the booking was transferable, which I do not believe it is, then there would have been more buyers.
If the 500+ orders is more than anecdotal, PML would appear to have concluded that they have a sure fire hit on their hands, even if there would, eventually, be cancellations, which can then be released at a higher selling price. Assuming that each month's production allocation to SG is 100 units, PML would now be selling their July/August allocations for delivery in September/October. Its a pretty good position to be for a $200k+ car.
