The dashboard design is too outdated IMO for a car that costs so much. Should have redesigned the dashboard for a different look from current 5 series model. Bucket seats is a really nice touch!

So for it to be available now it would have to be a redesign or as mentioned they're not active. Although I find that unlikely as they appear to be the same headlight as other 2021 with yellow led. And if that were the case then the 5 series and M5 would also be the same as the euro model headlights just with laser light turned off which it's not. So I'm leaning toward slight redesign.

Well, your post is very helpful...well done!
So you apparently know better, but funny enough you just write, everything is incorrect. So then include what is incorrect and why..... - M3/M4 can be ordered with laser lights > what is incorrect here? - Laser light sources > Check here, Check here, Check here - And here how those light work > Check here So happy to hear from you, what is incorrect on my post... |

I'm highly considering getting the M5 CS once I figure out a few things and can get a slot. Of course I need to run it by the wife too my only concern is the frozen paint is a pain for maintenance without wrapping it

Yeah, the M5CS looks very good!! Maintenance is not that hard nowdays compared to normal colors, a friend of mine ha a frozen paint, you don't have to watch out on more things than usual, at least for normal maintenance like washing and so on... Only thing to consider is scratches and chips as it can get very costly to repair such things, as they have to paint much more of the car than with usual paints. But if you anyway cover it with a wrap, should be good to go |

Has anyone locked down an order? I heard from one store allocations are limited but another told me they are built to order with no limits. I am trying to find out which is accurate before anything. The store which claimed limited allocations wanted a $20K markup

Hopefully they will be able to build one for every customer that actually wants one this year.

Laser Lights - US 5 Series
Does anyone knows as to why the U.S. market 5 Series is not getting the Laser Lights? Not a single dealer can order the lights. Yet, the 3 series, 7 and 8, X4, X5, X6,, and X7 has the Laser Lights.
Also, the BMW USA has taken away the automatic soft close doors, 4-zone climate control from the 5 Series, and does not allow the touch control climate control being installed in the 5 series, while all the countries which are part of North America in Europe and the Middle East gets them as standard item. Also, no recorder is available for the 5 Series in the USA. It seemed like the older your G30 is, the more equipped and options your 5 Series have or received. |

If allocations are only given out once a month, how did they find out that they are getting theirs this summer? I thought dealers didn't get more than one month notice?

I think it would be a good idea for the owners if the car is not available for lease and also make it available only through special order. No pre-ordered cars sitting on lots. Maybe it will not add much to the bottom line, but would make the car more special for the owners.

My sales guy knows that I lease all my cars and hasn't mentioned anything like that. Honestly, I doubt BMW would do that again after how poorly it went over when they tried that with the M3CS.
