If this was a 2007 your rear lights would be post-LCI update. This car doesn't look like 2nd generation E60. (not that its a bad thing mine is the same.)
My '07 looked the same as the OP's before I added the reflectors.

LCI updates started on MY 2008s.
My '07 looked the same as the OP's before I added the reflectors.

I thought 2007 was when they introduced the changes?

Well, if cash is not a worry....
1) Shadowline trim
2) Coilovers to lower the car
3) M-tech or Umnitza M5 front bumper
4) M-tech side skirts and rear bumper
5) 19" OEM rims or whatever else you like
That should get you where you want to be.

My Ride: 550i 2009 Mod. with tints all around. Got Splitter and Spoiler coming. May do an exhaust.
Welcome Miss Paige. You know you will be getting a lot of attention stares and quick glances from admirers. You will be treated like a movie star, well almost. If admirers ask for autographs then yes. Enjoy the ride. Dan on the other left coast

what he said but i would swap 1 and 5. oem 166s, 167, 128 or 172 would be the top 4 choices in that order imo.
