Probably MY2008 or so, but I don't think the E65 facelift was exactly "drastic"...

remember that bangle said that his designs for the 7-er & the z4 "are bookends in his design language" ie they are the extremes

hence for the 7-er the drastic revamp was needed because of poor acceptance & IMO te upcoming s-class

I really doubt those pics. They seem to be half paint, half some kind of Scotch tape illutions.

What was the story around the Autobild pics?
