According to salesmen from two different BMW dealerships, the 2005 5-Series will be essentially the same as the 2004. No surprise there but next year's 5er will offer Active Steering as an option. IOW, you don't have to buy the entire Sports Package to get it. Apparently the marketing geniuses at BMWNA got tired of the tons of complaints they were getting over this issue. Both salesmen seem to think you'll be able to even get the 545I MT without the sports package.
Other changes:
- Lumbar support will be standard
- Ditto Parking Assist at least in the 530 and 545
- Although neither mentioned it, hopefully BMW will be delivering the 2005 with most of the software bugs correcetd.
Since my dramatically aging 1986 325eS had a near death experience the other day, I'll be getting one of these.
