F11

[paul mc11s]

Does anyone know where to get a BMW 5 series F11 (Touring)? I don't see them on the BMW.co.za site and there aren't any on Autotrader or Gumtree etc.

That comes to SA with the facelift I believe.

Welcome to the forum.

It's worth noting that the 5-series wagon/touring has always been a low-volume model. You hardly find them for sale pre-owned as E60's, and only a handfull of E39's. I dont think I have even seen an F11 locally. The 5GT kinda took over that role me thinks.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome. I have been on for some time with another profile "Paul Mc". When I tried to login most recently it sent me details for this login. I have asked the guys at 'Help' above if they can merge them.

Re: the F11, it is the station wagon / estate / touring version of what I have (F10). When I was looking for my current car, I thought I might like an F11 but couldn't find one anywhere.

There may be one coming with the facelift / 2017 5 series but I know there is one one out in Europe now. Here's a link to some info on one: http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=373098

Thanks Hugo.

I thought as much. Fact is I couldn't find a single one when I trawled the internet looking for one over the last 2 months.

In Europe yes, but SA aren't scheduled to get it until the facelift arrives. Or that's what I read.

Agreed. I reckon you get x5 space with 520d economy.

Exactly!

Just to be clear, there is no new facelift to the current F10 coming, the LCI was launched already.
So the F10 LCI is the current latest model, with the next gen being released in 2017.

BMW SA has not "brought" the f10 station wagon to SA, at all. Not even one.
AS mentioned in previous posts, nobody buys them (theres no substantial market for them).
