Regarding 2003 E39M5.....no I have not heard about the rumors regarding some 'throw-in' items like different wheels for the last production year. In fact now that we are closer to the end of the 2002 model year, expect LESS because of course BMW wants to sell 2002 cars not future 2003's. That being said the other issue is whether there was to be a model year 2003 E39M5.....From my dealer the answer is YES - BMW is producing M5 through calendar 2003. Either way he has a standing order from me for a car that is near the end of the production life. What a car !
