I agree with Imola.This is a bad photoshop.Look at the left hand side of the front bumper.It looks like they only changed the right side of the bumper.The left side is more round like the current bumper.The right side is triangular.Its a photoshop in my opinion.A very bad one too.

That's not even a very good photoshop attempt. Sorry. It's too early in the game for the 2010MY redesign. Nice RHD 'photo'. The proof is in the eyes.
I agree, I don't think this is any more then a test mule for componets

03 = MY 03 !!!

The launch in the US was later. You didn't get any MY03's in the US, but there was a MY03. The actual launch should have been even earlier, but due to problems the launch in Germany was pushed back.

As I remember, they were on dealer lots in the summer of '03 here in the US. Don't know if it would have been early enough for you guys to call them '03 MY or not. I was in Germany in October '03 and they were being marketed heavily - there was one permanently parked outside the hotel I stayed in, and my hotel bill came in a 5er ad folder... I kept it, it looks just like the car I own... kinda cool.

this is not a spy photo? Its just other e60

They always cover the body parts in spy photos and BM still go other 3 year to design the new 1 and if you see from the past models they are 100% diffrent. spy photo

Yeah, the other images look more like a test mule than a photoshop job...

Clearly they're playing with the wheel well flares...
