Well I like the new 2007
it not much of a face lift on the outer skin which is good they kept the same shape thank god.
They kept the same shape on the lights which is good.
I good thing is that the back end of the wheel arch is not like the MB which sticks out like a shor thumb thank god too, it blends in more much better and smoother.
I love the intee layout much better.
I wonder if my sway and tower bars will fit on this 2007 5er
Basicly I like it even better.
Itis tempting to order 1.
well here are the computer render pics that i grabed from the web.

here is a poll
- nothing much to complain about (except to absence of a 535i in Europe and the delayed sports automatic transmission)
- very subtle improvements but in keeping with the purity of the original design
- current E60 owners won't be too upset (I think) as it doesn't make their car look dated
- for those waiting for the facelift to order, it looks like the wait has been worth it

I am about to take delivery of a brand new 07 that I had ordered.
I like the face lift. Looks real nice.
There is nothing negative that I can see.
The financial incentives I accepted compesnsate me well to counter the new cool factor. Basically the lease factors and price give me more car for the money than I was expecting to get.
My choice was doing a 3 series with lots of goodies including the 335 with wheel upgrades and checking all the boxes, or go with a tame version of the 5 without sport. I opted for the better car with overall comfort.
Anyone waiting for the upgrade will be rewarded and it looks great! Naturally I was pleased that there were not many changes. Seems that as optics improve BMW stays on the cutting edge. I think the new door trip is very nice and works nice. NOt as cutting edge as the old model but I can see the reason for changing it. The front end looks good too!
Basically I got the car leased with the same payment as I had on my 2000 ML 320 and my 2003 Audi allroad. This car msrp was 12k higher than those two and my payments are the same!
Great job they did on this car! I first thought it was very ugly in 2003 but I was an audi man and it was very radical! This design grew on me and I long to continue driving a premium sedan/wagon with manual transmission. While my choice gets reduced each year, this deal really works for me!
535i Sport will be the bomb!

I question I like to ask the big pros.
I see that the backend of the wheel arch is bigger like the MB s-class.
dose this mean that it can have wider wheels or is it more boot and back seat space?
