Among other positive attributes it most definitely did not suffer from HPFP issues....

My Ride: BMW F10 520D M-Sport, Professional Nav, Spoiler, Visibility Pack, Auto Fold mirrors, Full Black Panel.... and thats it!
Thanks guys. Your replies helped and I also found something else on the web.
In fact, my request may have sounded easy/stupid ... on paper, since the change seems to have happened in 06 (maybe in the US?). In car magazines, for Europe I read that 2007 and later models are the facelifted ones. Also I am in Kuwait and it looks like the 08 models in Kuwait are the newer cars!!! So you see...
Anyway, the best way to spot it, I believe, is that the facelifted models do NOT have 3 gaps in the front bumber but a single wide one with a strip in the middle!
Thanks also for this: I thought the facelifted cars still had a 2.5 litre (but made more efficient) engine - but you tell me that it changed to 3.0 litre. Cool!
Sorry for this last one: what is 'LCI'?

LCI = Life Cycle Impulse
It refers to the 'Face lift' the e60 received. Different head lights and tail lights being the two most noticeable changes.
