Any news on when 335is and F10 5 series will come to HK?

The 335is coupe (similiar to Z4 Sdrive35is) with 320 hp is making the rounds lately in the auto magazines, anyone know if it will come or when it will be available in HK?

Also, does anyone have any firm info on when the F10 5 series is coming to HK? I heard rumours from BMW Concessionaires that it will come in "Spring" or "Summer" 2010, but no firm dates and prices.

335is is NA model. I'm not sure if 335is will be available in Asia market. I guess you are asking about the E92 LCI perhaps? The E92 LCI will be the 2011 models. I'm guessing F10 will be here by Q3 of this year? Don't quote me though.

during my X1 preview, my sales told F10 will be doing global official release in Q3 2010, possible available in HK market Q1 2011. will see how it goes

Cool, when is the X1 coming to HK?

production of X1 starts March 2010 in their US line, delivery to HK expected around May.

Thanks, curious to have a look at X1, since it's suppose to be based on the 3 series chassis.

Shame about the 335is, would have given more options to people who want more sporty cars yet can't afford/don't want to pay for a M3.

Hey I just checked out the BMW HK website, you can now sign-up for a test-drive of the F10. Anyone of you planning to sign-up?

I went into the Wan Chai showroom the other day and saw the new 5 series 550i and 535i on display. Overall, very nice looking. It's design is more evolutionary then revolutionary with the E60. It extra lines gives it a sleek and muscular appearance. The interior is also more luxurious and refined then the E60 with extra leather and wood on the panels. Unfortunately it's not yet available for test driving so I can't comment on that crucial element. But the reviews do say it's ride comfort is superior to the E60 but at the same retaining that agility and handling that BMW is famous for. So we'll have to wait and see.
