Re: 2010 - new 5 series pricing
when the E60 was launched locally, 520i was $204k - 16" wheels, no PDC, so bare it redefined the word. various iterations and price adjustments followed (E60 525i included). however the E60 530i's price in contrast hardly fluctuate over the product life-cycle.
i'm very sure F10 prices will come down. PML loves promos on their low-end 3 and 5, so be mindful if you're buying the low-end F10. in my view, better to wait for promos if you're getting the 523i.
getting a 535i sounds like a better idea but back to fundamental question : are you paying too much for toys you dont want and need? it'll be nice if there's a "535i Sport" variant. really, the F10 535i should have 19" wheels as standard for a start!

Re: 2010 - new 5 series pricing
Whilst much you write is true, it is always the FIRST to be seen in it. The 523s, whilst bare will probably be the easiest to sell later. For tech stuff such as cars etc.... if can wait, wait.... but there will always be something newer, nicer, cheaper etc.... so like tech stuff, when do you buy? Only your heart/wallet can heed that call.

+1
just see how many 318/320/520 on the roads .... wait patiently for promos
if you are aiming for top end, PML price hold quite steadily. i guess PML definition of bread&butter vs lifestyle product is distinctively differentiated with absolute control.

Re: 2010 - new 5 series pricing
point is Sir, dont waste money just to be among first few to be seen in a F10. anyone among the "first" is just another face in the crowd couple of months later. superficialness is not exactly enduring.
take pleasure instead on counting your savings while waiting for a better deal. the F10 is a bread-and-butter car to them and the price envelope can only be pushed so much (at its limit already in my view).
with increasingly better service from other makes and more models coming, Joy Is Patience.

Its a chicken and egg thing, buy high end more depreciation, buy low end lesser depreciation. So moral of story, follow your heart and enjoy what you own.
Like that its never ending, don't buy the first batch of F10, wait for facelifted, then wait further for promos, ...... New model out liao :nehnehhh:

But as usual - early batch of bm & merc are always plagued with technical glitches
And this F10 is a great leap technologically so its even more worrisome.
However, its a not so bad in the 5 because we have a 7 series which is like a test bed for those technologies.....

COE Cat B up by a whopping $10k (surge due to 5 launching soon ??). Wonder if PML would increase their prices !

Re: 2010 - new 5 series pricing
Heard from SE that response to 5 is overwhelming, my indent order is now pushed to May production..probably only see car in July/Aug.
PML might just scxxw everyone who bought the 523 by introducing the 528 later in the cycle !
