MY2008 535i debut with "big facelift" next June?
Quote from e60.net forum (from someone in London):
********************************************
3.0 (530i/530xi) litre engine will be produced until end of may 2007 and will then be phased out to be replaced by the 3.5BI-turbo engine. producing 306bhp. No 340bhp part for the standard e60
....
Expect a big big facelift around may 2007, bmw is really putting a lot of resources into this, expect the back light cluster to be altered, front lights, construction of the bumpers including the welding procedure (as in use the plastic application found in the e63), interior revisions including a change (possibly) in the instrument cluster
********************************************
Any comments?
I'm anxious to see the new 306hp turbo in 5, and wish BMW do something to de-Banglize the 5. That popstar's design has created a dilemma to me - a best-driving-machine with an ugliest butt (I think, if BMW can't design something as sexy as J Lo's, they should at least stay with E39's Plain Jane).

The E39 received a mild facelift in 2001:
new fogs
halo lights (light rings)
body-colored trim
led tail lights
If tradition is any indication, this puts MY2008 as the year for a mild facelift.

Love the idea of a 535iT for 2008 - just in time for the lease on my '06 to run out! I just hope they get the turbo right - prior to the 525i, I had an '01 Audi A6 2.7T - also bi-turbo. Great car - except - turbo lag was horrid, and made the car dangerous when trying accelerate from a slow speed. As for goosing the 550 - any more and it'll be too close to the M5, won't it?

Damn, I can't wait to see pics. 
If it looks ugly then I'll do ED this year and take an MY07 instead.
