Hi all,

I went to a Melbourne dealership yesterday who are offering good deals on X5's that are ordered this year, but which will be 2010 build compliant (good) He said that there were NO changes on the 2010 model year build, (bad) and naturally knew nothing about the pending LCI update for 2011 model (homer says duh)

I would have thought that at least new iDrive would be on the 2010 as the US seem to be getting this as part of current 2010 build. Also (and somewhat more importantly) - sites are saying that the 2011 LCI may start shipping for US as soon as April next year. How long before Australia gets access to that model. ???

Also heard that 2011 LCI will get more powerful diesel from 735d, e.g. something like 225kw and 600 nM - does anybody know anything about this ..I don't want to place order now, receive x5 in March, then learn in April that LCI is just around the corner bigger and better ...if there was a clear year between them then ok, but this sounds like a matter of months ...
