Different topics are talking about the facelift for march 07 (E60) and april 07 (E61). Has anyone seen photos of it. I assume that the rearlights will be as the new X5 stipes, and that the form of the headlights will be more like the E92 coupe. Internal there will be some new materiales.

Also coming new ext. colours/wheels.

Anyone have more info?

I get tired of the waiting and postponing buy till the facelift.

See the latest Roundel. Larger grill but hard to tell on the lights. It was a test mule.

That picture from Roundel really did not show any changes. The grill was the same (I sat in front of my car for a few minutes and compared it to the picture), and the lower front air dam may potentially have had some very minor alterations, but it was covered by black tape.

Here are some links to some pictures which show basically the same thing as the roundel picture:

There were also some pics floating around a few months back that showed a different rear bumber without the diffuser, but I can't seem to find the links to them at the moment.

The "Worldcarfans" page clearly says this photo is just a test mule for the new engines, not the facelifted model.
