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

535da is to expensive for me to drive due to higher taxes. 1 year tax for 535da is 7350 sek and for mine only 2100 sek. I have to drive alot of km/miles to get even whith the less consumption of 535da.
Or did it only support the Saab Bi-Fuel?
The facelifted 530dA could be your choise.

Didn't you Swedes go for a diesel supporting (environmental) tax system?

Yes they have lowered it if you have partikel filter and for a 530da it is 6750 SEK !!!!!
But the yearly tax is "only" €130 = about SEK 1200.

Actually If the facelift comes in March. I think BMW will hold off on the engine till sept. That way they attract sales with the facelift and then attract more sales again in Sept.
