That's a great looking car, the facelift 5 series is much more successful that the original. I hope you have many fuel efficient miles in it.

See, I’m the complete opposite. As soon as they face lifted it I started speccing one.

The facelift in this case looks just that, pulling a sagging face taught. It looks more athletic, chiselled and lithe. It makes the predecessor look quite bloated in comparison, even old. |

Yep, that about describes it. The rear light treatment alone is miles ahead.

Have you thought about getting yourself down Harley Street for the LCI treatment?

Have you thought about getting yourself down Harley Street for the LCI treatment? Last time I went to Harley Street I ended up with triplets. |

Add me to the list of those who think the LCI is a decent improvement on the older car.
