Hi, Sorry I can't answer your question, but I have a 6 Series quick question so thought I'd put it here!

Assuming that the 5 and 6 series share many parts (switchgear/engines etc), why does the 645i have a temperature gauge below the rev counter (tachometer), whereas in pretty much all the 5 series i've seen there is a 'fuel ecomony gauge'?

No rumors of facelift yet. The F12 (coupe) and F13 (Cabrio) are due in MY 2011. My guess is the MY07 won't but by MY08, maybe.

..dont know about any plans to face lift the perfect beauty of the 6er, but as for the next body, coded F12 coupe / F13 cab, its reported in the below link as production in 2011, so its about 5 years.... :
