My Ride: F11 520d white, auto, professional sat-nav with internet, variable damper control, sports steering wheel, extended lighting, retractable tow bar, wing mirrors with dimming & folding, full electric seats with memory & lumber adjustment, etc.
If and its a big if, these pictures are correct I like the front end changes but hate the rear. The front does resemble that of the three but thats OK, the rear lights if they were like this would not be the first time BMW got it wrong. Just look at the awful rear lights on the X3 they are out of proportion to each other between the tailgate & the rear wings and look messy.
Fact is though why change something that is already a style icon change for change sake is a poor decision, Id much rather they did some revisions to the interior like add sunglass holders, revise the auto air-con and add a side sunvisor (even the Mini gets one of these). I would like to see them add a material that easy to clean on the front door bins that catch scuff marks from shoes etc.
Lets wait and see, its not so many years ago(me included) when we thought the E60 was radical, now its seen as a style leader that Bangle got right.

There is not a single body panel on this car which is the same as the E60.
These are not accurate pics of an E60 facelift. That is for certain.
Anyone in doubt, up for a bet?
