Yup looks like the 335s exhaust tip. and from the press release the 550 sport exhaust will sound better than what the expired E60s now sound.

535i has red markers on the rear bumper - is that a 530 in disguise?

I don't like the front yellow reflectors. :thumbsdown: It's too bad they did that.

hmm. looking at the pics, does it appear that the headlight assembly will be a retrofit on pre-LCI? or is it wishful thinking??!?

Isn't it strange that the engines are warm (look at the rev counters), or is this feature discontinued for the LCI as for the E90? Can any LCI owner confirm?
