Thx for the info! The new automatic shift lever looks interesting. Looks a bit like the design from M5.
hopefully they make it too fit current E60

I was hoping to see a more "aggressive" front end for the 550, and maybe a redo on the headlights to rid them of the eyebrows. Really doesn't look like much of a change. I was hoping for more.

What's the second lens in the front DS of the sedan? It looks almost like the night vision camera but it's not.

I have said all the time that the E60 facelift will occour in September next year.

But now I could see, that the E60 facelift could come in March/April for the US MY '08?

Reasons for my light change of opinion is:

- E60 sales are now a bit back (facelifted E Mercedes)
- US markets are really important for the E60 (40 % of all sold BMW's are E90, 25 % E60's)
- new engines available (most important the 535i, but no new V8!?)
- the competition is harder than ever for strong powerfull Premuim cars, even the M5 will get a boost

The new X5 will be launched soon and the V8 is still the same 335 hp 4.8 l.

When does the MY2007 production finish? August or September? If the facelift is in March or April, when will the MY2008's be available?
