Re: 5 series facelift south east asia launch dates? - 05-04-2007, 07:55 AM

just got word that the new bmw 5 series facelift will be introduced in Malaysia in July without the new direct injection engine!!! Bmw Malaysia is launching the facelift with the old 3.0i 258 bhp engine!! ARE THEY RETARDED?? I really lost it when my dealer called me with this news. The reason being that the new 3.0si 272bhp engine direct injection engine cost too much and will raise the price of the bmw 530i. Hence bmw germany is exporting all the old 3.0i 258 bhp engines to countries like Malaysia supposingly THIRD WORLD NATIONS! does anyone understand and can relate to my anger and irritation?? I have a susbstantial deposit with BMW Malaysia over the past 8 months as I have been waiting for the new bmw 530i facelift with the new 3.0si direct injection engine which the WHOLE WORLD IS getting except MALAYSIA and other "third world nations"!!!!! and lastly the deposit is non refundable!!
