Well since NO ONE on this forum KNOWS when that is, given the nature of the exponential function I can but hope for a low level of activity.
If it were something concrete then fair enough.
But for those who might call themselves "grown men" (notice the absence of women who are interested) wetting themselves in anticipation of something and nothing is a cringeworthy experience.
Then there are those who are DESPERATE to be the "first" to be proven "right"...

There are several members on these forums who have insider information and are not allowed to say
The facelift will come when it comes and nothing that's posted will accurate information from BMW.
As for individuals trying to gain kudos for "knowing someone who knows something about a BMW employee's dog's exercise regime"... hmmmmm...

I work for a dealership and we have no official word as to what the car will look like. The engine upgrades WILL be on the 525i/xi and 530i/xi. The 525i/xi will become the 528i/xi and the 530i/xi will become the 535i/xi, the 550i, from what I heard, will recieve no engine upgrade. I should hear something very soon and as soon as I hear, I will post it here.

...and the 520d, 525d, 530d and the 535d will all get a bit stronger engines.
New model will be 535i and in EU the 530i will get a bit stronger engine (272 hp).
About the looks and standard epquipment we all have to wait a couple of months,
but the new auto trans gearbox is great news!
