Let me know if you want me to post up any of the sections. I've read through the 50 page doc and there really isn't much new. 5 pages on the DCT, 3 or so on the performance catalog.

Anything about the lci of the E90?

Craigito · 02-23-2008, 10:43 PM

So the new 5 series will be showing...or at least a concept?

RichReg · 02-24-2008, 08:53 AM

Just the revised model lineup for the current E60...not the F10.
I think the revisions are mostly for Europe, but I'm sure some will trickle
into the U.S. cars.

Can you post details on the DCT, I'll check the M3 board.
