OK...here is a website with a better picture of the rear cabin detail and partial door detail of the refresh interior. You can move the picture around for a better look at the leather details on the door arm rest, pull and upper quater door panel. I still can't make out what the door lighting is nor the location of the door speaker(s) and wood trim. UGH!!!!!!!!! My guess is that the US version may not have the doors detailed in two-tone...

Thanks for sharing fp60!
I really like the long-wheelbase version...I hope to see it in the US. Love the idea of finally having DVD and built-in screens

Anytime miss525i. I wouldn't mind ordering a LWB myself if they had it here in the States. I'm checking my advisor in two weeks to see what is up with the facelift. I might delay placing my order for 3 months and extend my current lease for the period until the new 550 comes in.

If I hear or see anything else I will post it.
Thanks!

The front doors appear to be different as well. It certainly makes sense that they would be launching this car with all the facelift upgrades, and from what I have read about the LWB version, everything from the B pillar forward is standard E60, so these may very well be the new interior door panels.
