Nope. I'm not a BMW owner so I don't get any insider updates, either! Will keep my ears peeled...

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!!
That is disappointing... Is there any way for you to indent/parallel import in a 530si DI? BTW, I thought you're getting the X5? Or both?
