Very nice link 
It official 
- New front and rear lights, some led tech
- New wheels (The Style 247 wheel seems sitting very nice!)
- New lower front grill
- A small change to the trunk lid
- New autotrans shift, new door panels and hopefully better interous materials and electronics?
- Brake Energy Regeneration
- iDrive as in the E70
- The diesels are great
- New Direct Injection Engines - BUT NO 535I? The 540i is a OLD engine!
Disappointed!

- the shifter looks different from the one at the beginning of this thread (from wowe). It look more like the X5 shifter. I wonder what the other shifter is in wowe's pic
- not having the sports automatic available until June 2007 is going to really affect a lot of potential customers (like 535d customers)
Here's a screenshot

Nice, big improvement at the rear bumber and tailights, well formed front and rear bumbers. I don't like that oldish chrome trim on the lower front 
(Too much chrome) I'm curious how the M pack version will looks like, will it have that chrome trim on? 
Seems like BMW has so many of our current model mirrors in stock! Not inspired with any of the new rims, except maybe 244s...
Thanks Wowe

It seems to me they are they same shape (tail lights) - and LED's in the turn indicators as well, just what I was waiting for. 
Overall a nice facelift, I like it. - 'had a E90 loaner the other day and was not that crazy about the interior side panels the FC will carry over. Different design for driver and passenger door. I like ours better.
