Real taillights are too big. Looks like an economy car. It looks too much like the 3, between the lights and the side crease. I hope they don't do it that way.

THAT is no facelift. for me it's just a prototype car for the new one in 2009

The head and taillight design suggests a more serious facelift compared to previous models

I don't think it looks ugly but I don't think it looks good either.

Looks ugly. Headlights look like X3, Taillights look like a Toyota or something. Hope it never makes it into production!!

IF that does indeed represent (or at least approximate) the "facelift", I'm very disappointed with how dramatic it appears to be.

There's won't be a new 5 in 2009. If BMW follows its normal update schedule, it would be MY2011, with a facelift for MY2008 or so.

And if anything, this is AutoBild's rendition of the facelift, NOT of the next generation 5 Series...they wouldn't even be making predictions like that 5 years before the next 5 is due to ship.

I mean if this is like it will be...
