Hi! I read that New face and tail- E60- will be released in this fall.
IS IT REALLY TRUE?
I have owned this car for only 1 year now because I bought it when it arrived here.
If it is true not rumor, I never buy BMW anymore.
BMW is not Crysler, Hyundai and ...........
If they release new version, I think it is not a problem.
How about your opinion?

The E60 is not getting facelifted. There is the MY2005 with minor interior changes, but who ever told you that might have seen the new 3series (E90) and thought the 5series gets a facelift. But it's not.
There are no such rumours over here in Germany and I haven't seen any spyshots of probable facelifted E60's.
And, it would pi$$ me off too... But I don't think that's going to happen...

I've read that they might give the 7ser a face lift...nothing regarding the 5ser.

Yep, that's what they are working on, and still don't know if they release it or not.
They are also working on the 3series (E90), 2 and 4 series, M5, M6, and a new X5. Then there are a couple of things they have in mind and don't know if they bring it out or not... AFAIK

Here in the US, a magazine which is called Auto week (I am not sure) says
that E60 will change its skin because of its aggresive look.
I hope it should be a rumor.

I would not mind if they make the e60 side to look like the z-4 and same sharp lights (front) as the z/4.

My 2 cents

I know someone who works at BMW and he has assured me the 5 is not getting a face lift for 05. Just minor changes like more wood trim on the interior and lumber support standard for the 530 and 545. Outside will be the same.

They better not change. The fact that they don't change is one reason I buy. No need to update for 7-8 years.
