/cringe @ the looks of the fogs + vents together.

I'm going to be jealous of the TT engines, but function over form on this one FTL.

Looks like the X6 front bumper to me. Makes sense if getting the TT engines. Still think current bumper with aero package is best looking

Not losing too much sleep over the looks of the updated version! Quite happy with what I have.

Also having juts had a 3 series with the new iDrive as a hire car on holiday I don't think the new buttons are that much of an advance...you have lost the ability to hold the controller to the right to select Nav which you can do with the current gen which I think I prefer. The functionality of the iDeive itself is definitely better but I don't think the new controller is that much of a leep forward.

It's not the controller most are wanting it's the new Nav system with HD, MP3 hard drive, new 3d graphics, etc. Check it out on the new 7 series next time you are at the dealer and you will see.

Not sure about that, the e39 M5 came out in 2000 while the e39 line got it's facelift in 2001.

Does anyone have information on when the facelift is gonna be released? I am waiting for the facelift to purchase the x5 and was wondering when it will happen?

Thanks.
