BimmerFile Gears up for the Detroit Auto Show

Sections: Site News Dec 31st, 2009 5 Comments

Over the next few weeks we expect the automotive industry to slowly come out of its late December combo to prepare for what still is the largest automotive event in the US: NAIAS. However this year we’ll be covering the show from every angle. Todd, Matt and myself be there to not only report from the floor but bring you the designers, executives, and insiders through a series of show floor BimmerCasts. Look for full galleries of the entire show as well.

The fun starts on January 11th where BMW will be showing off the ActiveE, Z4 35is, ~~F10 5 Series~~ and just about everything else you would expect and imagine. We’ll see you from the show floor in just under two weeks.

Sorry , The BMW 5er (F10) Will not be @ Detroit. US sales will not begin until the second quarter of the year. A New York debut is more likely. The World Premiere of the F10 will take place @ Geneva in March, prior to European sales beginning later that month. The first drives will coincide with the Geneva launch in Lisbon , Portugal.

HERR26 is right, the international apresentation will be at Portugal, in Sintra, i’m portuguese and i went to a local dealer and they told me that.

We expect a sneak peak of the new 5er sometime before Geneva.

So I am guessing it will not appear in Toronto in February either?
Babak

No, nothing appears in the Toronto show. Not until at least a year after you see them all over the city. Sorry I’m exaggerating, but just a bit.

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
