The new 5 series will have an XI model. There is no maybe about it. When I bought my Bimmer about 4 months ago, the guy I bought it from told me there will be a 540xi and a 528xi.

Besides, thay have to. They can't compete. With Audi and 90% of the cars off the production line being Quattro drive( Including the S4/S6/S8/RS4/RS6) and Mercedes now has fully functional 4Matic in the C, E and now S class, BMW would be losing a great deal of market to AWD platforms.
