2010s just came out, how could they possibly have specific numbers on 2011 already?

As a dealership employee, I can tell you that we are usually the last ones to find out about any changes with the vehicles. I wouldn't trust it.

Sounds like BS to me as well. I don't see why BMW would release MY11 specs now. Your CA might be getting things mixed up with another product.

BMW isn't changing engines now, there would be prototype cars all over the place if that were true.

well it's pretty pointless to discuss it now since no one really knows but...
1. since this came from a dealer, even if it's true im going to call BS. and if she's right im going to say she accidentally got the info right 2. i dont expect BMW to watch RS5 and C AMG (whatever the new number will be) take over the market and just watch. BMW may have done a power change mid cycle to an M car before, they may have been satisfied with E46 power so they kept it, but when it comes to a changing market there's no fixed rules. they have to react to the market and gain those dollars back. I hear a lot of people saying BMW doesnt bump power or change engine mid cycle, which to me is ridiculous, because this is a business, it's not a culture. let us wait and see P.S. Thank God for leasing |

Additionally, why would a salesman tell you anything that would lead you to not buying the car he has sitting in front of you? I'd sell you the 2010 model, and then bring you back in to buy the "improved" 2011 model. Trixy.

Unless the 4.0 V8 or the v10 variant will see use in a future BMW model, I highly doubt that the company would be interested in developing it any further. I say nay to a HP bump. |

there *could* possibly, but again who the F knows, right?, be a discussion about introducing the next gen engine in this car, and just further develop it or "bore it out" for the next gen. but it's all about engineering and business "opportunity costs". my point was just that 1. who knows? 2. why not i hear your argument though |
