Leaked document: E60 M5 to continue until 2010

[Ashok Arora]

...and the new five series will be called "F10" (F11 for the touring).

Thanks for sharing.

Where is the Z4 Coupé?

It's not leaked, its public but you need to pay for it.

So, the next M5 would be around 2012? Based on this go-round, leaving deposits was only good for a coupla months. Next time, it may not get you anything. May mean that we should re-up our E60s in 2009/2010.

That bodes well for tuners to invest in R&D I would think.

What effect will this have on resale value/depreciation? Doesn't look good.

Why does that shock everyone? The E60 came out in 2004....so 2010 is about right for a new model. I want to know what the new X5 is coming out in 2006. I want one of those, but I want to see what it looks like!

Ashok is posting about the M5, not the regular E60.

The last M5 was in production for less years than what this document indicates about the years that the E60M5 will be in production (1999/2000 to 2003). I'm not sure about the other M5 models.
