yes, it is old model, but it will be on the market another year before model change. Mercedes and Audi did not launch nothing new that can that way effect sales.
BMW should pay attention to this problem 5 series is one of the elephant for the Brand
After the new 3 series emerged the 5 series looks in all ways too busy, slow and lethargic, by comparison. At least to me.

I have zero interest to even test drive a five series now that the F30 is out.

As an anecdote, I sat in a new 5 series at the dealer and it just felt like it carried more metal around. And that was all it conveyed over the F30.

So, I am hypothesizing the F30 took a lot of the F10 market.
