I am trying to find the article which I think was in Autoweek or Road and Track but no luck online, I go through my hard copies. The front lower bumper was cutout more with a larger opening, the side bodyline showed the body crease in line with the door handles instead of above it and the rear had minor changes. I saw the photos and you would be hard pressed to see the differences. Also added MP3 jack, better bluetooth, BMW assist was standard, diiferent steering wheel with sport package.
My lease is up in April 2007 so I am curious as well. If I find the article I will post the link.

I took Delivery of 2007 530i on july 15. I ordered it in June, and its definitely not restyled,so the restyled models must be coming out later this year.

Normally BMW retools in August and starts new body styles/updates with Sept production, since it takes about six weeks from a specific cars production start and the time you actually get it, you won't see new changes until mid October.
This year they did introduced the new magnesium engines in April for the 3 series instead of waiting until September but I think that was to rush these engines to market as the competition has been moving forward with more horsepower.
