In North America Pre-LCI had orange amber side reflectors on the head light. Which is what you should have for a 2007. LCI is 2008+, it was when the cars got a face lift, some minor cosmetic upgrades.

LCI=Life Cycle Impulse (face-lift) which occur in 2008. Just a few of the outside changes were front bumper, rear bumper & reflectors, fog lights, headlights, tail lights. Engine of HP from 07 530 jumped to HP in 08 535. Inside changes included newer iDrive, new door panels, new electronic shifter and new seats. There were some new options and colours but they varied from market to market.
