It's still a long way away, however.
From Bimmerpost:
So initial launch should be spring of '12. Then there's the initial wait of having BMW's customers working out the kinks for them for the next 6 months.

The new F10 M5 is going to be a beast. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

However, with BMW's spectacular handling of the HPFP issues and the known issues with the regular F10 5 series, I'm not sure the first year F10 M5 is going to be a good choice.![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
The Panamera looks like the better choice more and more everyday.

There are no widespread issues plaguing the '08 that I have encountered or am aware of.

Saw a another new 5 at my tennis club yesterday, sleek sedan for sure.
And today, it's no longer acceptable to debug cars in the 1st year of volume production. Even Mercedes had to learn that lesson, with the release of the new gen C-class for model year 2008, it was debugged prior to release, what a concept.

i didn't say it's on all lexus, good for you on the isf, but then it's a car on a platform that's been out for 2 yrs. for ls460, first year was full of wind noise problem. for the 3gs, first year had tons of rattling / squeaking problems. for the 3rx, first year had a lot of problems and firmware updates on the usb connection, all after customer complaints.
