Just curious...has anyone seen the 5's on display in Detroit, and, if so, are they MY'06, and are there any noticeable design/style changes?

Looks like painted rear bumper inserts where the red reflectors used to be.

Take a look at the second picture.

Yeah, my car, 12/7/04 build date, came with body colored inserts. Surely, that wasn't the big, mysterious running change they were talking about!

it says as you read in that the 530 has 258bhp and 221lb/ft up from 225bhp and 214lb/ft also the best thing i see is the addition of bmws xDrive which if i had known about would have been sweet on the 530

My 2005 545 has painted inserts for the rear reflector spots. That's not a change.
