Hi - 520D / 2007

The LCI came out in 2008, so you have a pre-LCI 5 series. As some of the people her mentioned, the common things to notice:

1. There are reflectors on the sides of the front bumper
2. The grill area in the front of the car (below the bumper) and the fog light casing are different
3. The door handle on the inside of the car (on the driver's side) has a handle w/o wood

I can't remember some of the other changes... but you get the idea.

Thanks for that - according to that link I do, reading through the forums made me a bit unsure about what I actually had!

I'll post a picture tomorrow of the front grill as suggested as well.

Here's what the link said..

Do your tail lights have horizontal light bars? If so, you have an LCI.

If you had an LCI you would know it. I say FAIL.

More like light "tubes" -- didn't the pre-LCI cars have something that could be mistake as horizontal "bars?"

How about this question...do you have 8 hard "favorites" buttons below the CD slot that can be programmed with things like a radio preset, a telephone speed dial, etc.?

Because he probably won't?

I think by now, if he read everything that was posted, he should be able to tell what he has...
