Re: Airshow 2008 520i
Met up with my SE today 'cos one of my friends is thinking of getting the Airshow 320i. It's going at $125,800 while the non-Airshow ones are going at $135,800. Apparently the only difference is that the Airshow model comes with clear tail lights, as all the new 320i's don't have xenons either.
Anyway, my SE said that PML will continue to bring in the 520i even after the Airshow, and it will be the new E60 base model. The 520i will sell for $168K (not sure if this is list or nett price) and the 523i is likely to revert to list price at $181,800 with probably only $1-2K discount at the most.
FYI, in case anyone here is considering getting the 523i. It's currently going for about $172K while the model with the soft-closing doors is $176K.
