I do assume BMW would NOT introduce a new top-of-the-line model 1 year before an expected facelift that looks outdated after that facelift.

My point: a facelifted E70 will have at most slightly different bumpers + lights but will not look much different from the current generation E70.
BMW wants the X5M fascia to be different from current E70 X5, like they do with other ///M cars. I agree its minor change to bumpers and light graphics like they did with E60 facelift. The big change is on the interior and under the hood. BMW is working towards having entire fleet with TT engines. So all non-TT engines will be gone sooner than later.
