For the Cdn model, just call up your GTA BMW dealer as they would have the details now.

For 12, production begins in Sep 2011 and should take about 4-6 weeks to arrive in Canada. Therefore, you can order now and get the first batch by late October.

Brief summary for the 5 series
autumm 2011

rocker button standard: eco ,confort,sport, sport+

From autumn 2011, a Driving Experience Control switch will be fitted as standard on the BMW 5 Series Sedan and BMW 5 Series Touring models. This rocker switch on the centre console allows the driver to customise accelerator response characteristics, engine response, the power steering characteristics, the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) thresholds and, on automatic models, the shift characteristics of the transmission. Drivers can choose between "COMFORT", "SPORT" or "SPORT+" modes. All the four- and six-cylinder models also feature ECO PRO mode, which supports a relaxed, extra-fuel-efficient, low-rpm driving style. At the same time, ECO PRO mode also programs electrically powered convenience functions like the heated seats and exterior mirrors and the air conditioning to operate at optimum efficiency. A special display in the instrument cluster lets the driver know by how much the driving range is being extended when using ECO PRO mode

auto start stop function

Auto Start-Stop, which from autumn 2011 will be specified as standard on even more BMW 5 Series models, makes another big contribution to efficiency. This system, which automatically shuts the engine off when the vehicle is stopped in a traffic queue or at intersections, can be used on both manual and automatic models. In future it will form part of the BMW EfficientDynamics technology package on all diesel models as well as on the BMW 520i, BMW 528i and BMW 535i.


new gen HUD

From autumn 2011, the BMW 5 Series Sedan, the BMW 5 Series Touring and the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo will be available with the new-generation version of the BMW Head-Up-Display, which for the first time offers full-colour display of symbols and graphics, making road signs etc. look even more realistic. The functionality of the optional BMW Night Vision system with pedestrian recognition has now been extended to include an acute warning comprising visual and audible signals.
active protection


confort access new hands free opening of tailgate

Hands-free tailgate opener – innovative system for more convenient tailgate or boot opening.
BMW ConnectedDrive can always be counted on to come up with pioneering technology, and one of its latest intelligent solutions in the field of driver comfort and convenience is no exception. Hands-free foot-activated tailgate opening is a first in the premium class. Customers standing behind the car can open the boot or tailgate with a short movement of their foot under the centre of the rear bumper, without using their hands. The tailgate (or boot) is then automatically opened and raised, either by spring force or, depending on specification, by the tailgate lift.
The vehicle is fitted with sensors placed at different heights in the rear bumper trim, which are able to identify a person standing behind the vehicle. The sensors can identify the foot "command" by monitoring the area of the leg between the shin and the tip of the foot. They then send a signal containing special algorithms to the on-board computer. Access is only authorised, however, if the system simultaneously identifies the Comfort Access control unit (the key), which the person must be carrying with them. The bootlid or tailgate is then unlocked and raised automatically, without hand contact. Key authorisation provides the safeguard which ensures correct operation at all times. It means that the system cannot be confused by objects underneath the car or, say, by animals running in and out under the bumper.

Not now but should be around early September. You can order now and put in a condition clause of the sales as "subject to final pricing availability and negotiation"
