Just been looking at the latest November Parts system update at my parts source

All the E60 standard bumper part numbers are now listed as only up to March 2007

Meaning new bumpers will be out asof March 2007 production, confirming the facelift date


This changing of the part numbers confirmed the E65 facelift dates and the E46 facelift before

Almost certain... The only downer is the CO2 emissions for the UK - looks like it will be in the top band, means it's going to be taxed unfairly :thumbsdown: The (updated) 535d is looking very attractive!

A Polish guy who works for BMW in Munich and has seen the facelifted car was quoting on one of the Polish BMW forums that the changes are very minor. LED taillights, small changes to the bumpers, gear stick is differrent (not sure for which gearboxes). He claims someone not seriously into these cars will not notice the difference - a bit like the recent E Class facelift.

Could you please see if there is same dates for M-pack as for standard bumpers. Becouse US will get 535i but they can?t have the fabric M-pack in that case we will know if the 535i TT comes too the RW

It's really the same as the mid-run "updates" BMW did on the E39 -- body colored bumper and door trim, angel eyes in the headlights, LED-like tailights, etc.

The new gearshift is likely to be for the steptronic -- like the one in the following thread:
