Help

I have the above car but do not know how to tell if its the facelift model !!

Can anyone tell me any way of identifying the 2007 facelift revisions ??

Thanks

The answer is in the buyers guide, somewhere near the bottom of the main post.

Thanks for reply, read the facelift section, my car has adaptive lights but no LED lightsit has stop/start button, HUD but many of the items look like new optional things.

Is there any clear way to identify the facelift model ie on all facelift cars but none of the pre facelift ???

Thanks

Mike

No LEDs on the back will mean that yours is probably not a facelift. Probably an earlier buiid car that was registered later or as siad in the guide 'E60's were facelifted in batches in 2007 and in full from 2008'. Does your car have orange brows on the headlights?

Check the differences in design of the door handles and door panels.

Dunno about that. Im sure my old '06 535d had leds on the back.

Easiest way to tell is by the interior.
LCIs have the astray in the vertical part of the dash centre flanked by switches for active seats, etc

Pre LCIs have the astray in the centre console with a strip of switches in the centre part of the dash.

The E60 M5's started to get the LCI treatment about 6 months after the other E60 models so your 06 535 would have fallen in line with the first of the LCI's.
