im 95% sure on this, the 530D bhp will grow to 245BHP (unsure on the torque figure) and the 530I will Grow to about 275BHP I remember reading this on these forums somewhere...
Also do you think the door trims will be overhauled and made to look more like the 3 coupe and X5? The new LWB 5er has this new style door trim on the inside...
Yeah, ~245bhp is the next move (about half way between updated 525d and 535d) but I don't think that update is going to come quite yet... However, all speculation still

That is odd! Jan 7th 2007 is actually a Sunday and July 7th 2007 is a Saturday. None of them are Friday.
And strangely enough 1st July (1/7 - 7/1) is a Sunday too.

Maybe the launch is taking place in a Muslim Country!

When one of my managers went to a meeting, he saw the FC 5 Series. The car was a 550i with the M Sport Package Kit on it, similar to the European Sport Package. The car has the 5 Shifter with the 6 Programable Keys, like the X5 has. The car also has clear turn signals in the headlights, where as with the car now, you can see the amber inside the headlight. He also said that there was titanium inside the headlights, similar to the E46 330i, US Spec. He said the interior has alot more wood and was more updated. The rear has different lights, the trunk, he claimed looked the same. No Photos, but we should hear something soon!

Found this :
http://www.autoblog.nl/archive/2006/10/02/...lift-maart-2007

Don't know if all is true though, and it is in Dutch
The table seems plausible IMO.

Engine upgrades won't be until fall 2007 as far as I know. Not 03/2007 as stated in the table!
USB socket seems interesting, if true

Hmmm... 535i US only 540i Rest of World?

Babelfish of the intro:

Dennis thought rather that the BMW 5-serie still up to 2009 had, but that is not the case. In March 2007 the gefacelifte make BMW 5-serie its opwachting. To the outside we will see new voorbumper, adapted head lamps and new fog lights to the front. The back is freshened up with new achterbumper and new rear lights. As if that is not yet enough, there also once more 5 new colours and 6 come new lichtmetalen rims available. The interieur is also tackled, the door panels are completely renewed on the basis of current 3-serie, the wheel wheel is also new and middenconsole are also changed. The iDrive system get (fortunately) also update with extra buds for the control of the air flows of the ventilatie and bookmarks for radio, navigation and tel.. Tevens there new substances and colour in the interieur have been developed. In motorial area there are modifications also some. 535d upgrade get to 286 pk and 525d to 200 pk. September 2007 520d the geupgrade become to 177 pk. The petrol engines is also tackled. 530i And the 523i 190 pk gets 272 pk. THE USAS get moreover 535i with 3.0 the twinturbo zescylinder and there come 528i with 233 pk. 520d moreover not the only viercylinder remain, because there 520i 2.0 viercylinder strong with the 163 pk come which we know from 320i. With thanks to Anoniempje for the tip!
