I can't really see a different between the F/L and the non F/Led versions looking at these IRL pics of this car, they both look very similar!

Maybe in the flesh they will look different!

Really? IMO some exterior changes stand out like the different instruments inside the front lights and the LED rear lights. Also the interior looks more high quality than before but I'm not sure what they've changed. But I still would have hoped for bigger changes just like I think the E-Class should have got a more thorough refreshment...

Maybe when I seen one in the flesh I'll notice it, but from those pics I cannot!

Maybe it doesn't help that I had the pic of the F/Led 5er as my wallpaper and have got used to it now!

If you compare these two pics you will see the differences are quite small. The facelifted 5er has new transmission stick, new steering wheel, new iDrive knob, relocated side-window controls, more chrome strips (radio volume knob, air-con vents), redesigned lower part of the center console under the CD/DVD system and new shortcut buttons for improved iDrive.

Autospies video on the facelifted 5-Series. I must say the car does look somewhat better now, especially in White and Interlagos Blue:

I don't get the extra piece of black plastic around the new gearlever.
Well, actually I do, but I hate (what I think is) the reason for it: cost cutting. With this piece of plastic, they didn't have to change the shape of the wood around it

That crappy plastic around is the crappiest thing in my car's interior... Hate it!!!

Nice PS, klier. Much better!

Re: Officiall Thread: Facelifted 5-series + M5 Touring

Never noticed that before. What does it look like in the manual trans cars? That is probably why its like that.

Re: Officiall Thread: Facelifted 5-series + M5 Touring

Nothing like that, even better. There's only leather around and that's it.

Re: Officiall Thread: Facelifted 5-series + M5 Touring

Interesting. Must have something to do with protecting the wood or something, dunno??

Re: Officiall Thread: Facelifted 5-series + M5 Touring

Whatever the purpose is, i don't care! It's really a cheap, very cheap piece of plastic! Looks and feels crappy! :

Re: Officiall Thread: Facelifted 5-series + M5 Touring

I see I'm not going to convince you that it isn't so bad...lol!!! Anyway one last question, were there buttons there in the past or something? Thats about the last thing I could come up with.
