Sounds like you really like the new 5 Series. You should get one, as it seems it would be a great choice for you instead of a Lexus

550i, damn, super nice car. congrats (to your wife? hehe)

That's not what I meant. Dinan is a disaster here. Steve specializes in US market, he has tried to tune Euro cars in the Middle East before and they were all disasters!

Also, Dinan is no different to any other tuners down here, they are much more expensive and offer no warranty.

So the answer is simply NO, bimmer owners down here hate Dinan.

Is it possible they meant "two new F models" being the GS-F and redesigned IS-F? Though I hope it's 2 new in addition to the IS-F. LS-F would be AWESOME!

Actually I wanted a 500hp GS but they aren't making one for several years so I don't have a choice.

But you always seem to reach the wrong conclusion so no surprise there.

I did hear the GS is going to keep V-6/hybrid/V-8 so maybe we will see a next gen GS 460/500 and then a GS F.

At this point I'm ready to just see the car.

Getting tired of speculating.

You missed the part where they entered a CT in the Nurburgring race last month? With a bigger engine might I add. So what car would be a new F model if the IS already has an F model? The CT has been out long enough, an F version would be my guess.

Fair enough, but it was a response to a post that was a personal comment directed at me without reason.
