beewang, you don't have to care about the facelift after 2 years anymore. You're getting the M E60 soon anyway....?

[/quote]I think there was one for the last years of the 540 E39. I don't think the body will change until 2010.

Yeah don't count on it. The only problem with not changing their models after like 6-8 years is that they get so boring after a while (not bored with the E60 yet )

[/quote]The Msports bumpers were available here in SA before the facelift as a retrofit kit (had a 99 540i with it on ) . We could only order them from the factory through BMW SA after the facelift.
But yes, there was only one

[/quote]When I see an E39 that someone obviously looks after, I still think it is a great looking car. The thing that I find most dated is the interior and esp. the electronics.
