LCI = Life Cycle Impulse Simply a refresh of E60 w/ some new engines giving us the 528 and 535 and modest exterior and interior updates, more so on the interior.

You have the first year of the model rollover ,the previous 5 series was the e 39, in 04 they introduced the e 60 which is what you bought ,in the 08 version a mid life upgrade was done to freshen up the e60 (LCI) the opening page of this Forum gives you a good history of the 5 series.

As others have said, your car is pre-LCI like my 2004 545. On a side note, I didn't see your UK location initially. Hope my joke did not come across wrong, that line was from a commercial for ESPN, a sports cable network here in the US...
