I heard that the facelifted E60/61 will have the new faster 6 speed steptronic transmission (from the 335i coupe) with that odd gear shift lever. Aside from that, a few new engines worldwide (only 535 tt6 new to U.S. I believe) and some minor tweaks to the exterior - which one source described as certainly less noticable than the recent revisions to the E65 when it became the 750. My 550, if it ever gets here, has the M-aero kit, which I'm gathering won't change in design/appearance if you ordered it on a facelifted E60/61 next year. I'm changing the wheels as well, so aside from the transmission, what would be different about my car now, or after the facelift?

Quick question on the M-aero kit? Did you wrap up the painting and installation of the kit as part of your lease/purchase or did you have it installed and payed separately after you aquired the car? I want to wrap mine up as part of the lease so I dont have any hassles with the dealer once the lease is over. Any suggestions or thoughts please!?
Thanks!
