Dealer just ordered thier first batch of 2007 M5's yesterday.
Would not elabotate as to what options/changes were. But as stated in other forums, they confirmed a Grand Touring Model, Espresso Leather, heated seats, Galaxy Grey and the deep maroon type colors were coming (Carbon Grey is gone for 07). I assume that Galaxy & espresso leather option will look at bit like this:

Pretty nice - BUT - I looked at a Galaxy Grey CX-7 and Carbon Grey M5 side by side at the dealer and there is something funky about the Galaxy Grey - It has a platinum, beigy metallic undertone to it which I guess could look pretty cool but it looked sort of "dull" on the CX-7.
I am not a color wheel expert but do grey tones and beige tones go together that well. You cannot see it from the link but if you see it on the lot, the undertone is apparent. Anyway, the carbon grey looked better IMO as it has that "lead" color shine to it that really give it something.
Yet, that linked MX5 pic looks pretty hot.
Did anyone hear about a V6 option?
Sent an email to Mazda yesterday re passenger armrest, stability control, rear a/c vents, tint and a couple other questions. Have not heard anything yet. Dealer estimates 07's M5's should start arriving mid to late September.
06' Sports are pretty plentiful still - touring selection is getting thin but more 06' tourings arrived yesterday also. FYI, dealer said they can order once a month, so if you want to get an 07 started, keep that in consideration when planning the delivery date.
I will probably go with the 06' BUT if stability control is coming I may wait as I think it is going to be industry standard shortly and trying to resell a car without it will be like selling a car without airbags in the future.
Has anybody heard about stability on 07's?
