So far I have not heard much but here are the few rumors I have heard:

-New LED tail lights
-More powerful standard engine

Has anyone heard anything else?
When are allocations for MY2006 going to be available so it can be ordered?

Peace

im waiting on the mY06's too,

there should be full LED's in the rear, and the new R6 3.0 is looking very promising with ~30bhp more than the current 530i

, if you look at the list of new options on the '06 E90 3er's, we can assume that they will also be available for the MY 06 E60's

there may be the push button start/ comfort access feature as well

Actually, '06 Models will be out early, starting with March '05 production.
For the 5 Series & the 3 Series, anyway....

MY05 will have SW version 20 , and no more bug because it'll mutates into a monster
Wait for MY06, too. Definitely will be 545i

I don't think the start button or the LED's will be part of the E60. But it's still a long way to go. We'll have to wait a couple more months.

Really? 2006 5ers will start production in March 2005?

That means 2005 model year 5ers will only be produced Sept.04,Oct.04,November 04,December 04, January 2005, and February 2005? For 6 months only?
