I've been scouring the online car mags here and in the UK and see very little coverage of the E60 facelift.
The only thing I have seen so far is

I'm curious if there are any articles about it in the media in your region. If so, please provide links if you have them.

I would ne interested if BMW has done anything about the only 4 star rating at the EuroNCAP,
and the bad interiour, plus the RF tramlinging tendency with 245/40 18" and wider tyres!
Do you, ABC, have anything more, or a link, about the LCi 1-series?

What's LCi?
It appears to be BMW's TLA for a mid-life kick ot "facelift". Life Cycle "Injection" IIRC.

Nope, not at all... BMW Denmark have not updated their website yet!! 
BMW UK have a press release, that's all.
What about the other BMW websites in Europe? Do they have any specific info?
