The documents i looked at was not LEAKED, it was an internal production schedule
by BMW updated on the 8Th of December 2005, it shows production capacity of the various
plants + per country allocations of the models.... thats all
i cant publish it cause i dont have it !!!
// also regarding the 335i , it will for the time being be produced together with the 330i ... as for mid next year the 330i will disappear
and a 328i will take its place

Well, E65 came out in 2001, and E60 in 2004. E65 has already had its facelift (MY2006, 5 model years after introduction).

I agree with "Enjoy today, don't worry about tomorrow" philosophy. Nevertheless, I still feel for those, my personal friend included, whom have bought their MY05 530i and then weeks later, found out that MY06 530i with the new engine was available for ordering. He told me that he felt like having just bought a brand new "used car"
I for instance, had the opportunity to enjoy my 545i for whole 3 month's before the 750i was announced. I knew right away that 550i was imminent. Suddenly, my dream of trading up my car in 3 years became much more expensive due to abrupt depreciation associated with major model change. No sir, I was not amused.

Whoops, you're right. It came out in calendar year 2001 and was MY2002. And the sad thing is, that's what I actually meant to say, but then did my facelift calculations with the wrong numbers.
In any event, MY2008 (Sept 2007) seems likely for an E60 facelift...

100% reliable since this was an internal document that was cicrulated by bmw
munich to all the distributors.. I am unaware what the system is around Europe,
But in Bulgaria each dealer must preorder at least 100 cars so they give them
production schedules to plan what and when they order.
Kamor is the main BMW agent here but unfortunately i have no contact with them
(since ive order my 4 BMWs from M-car and i have a relative working there hence
10% discount on the cars and 27% discount on the x5
)
