I Disagree
IMO...

The R56 headlights are an improvement on the R53 shape.

Also i dont think BMW would be making a facelift model after the car has been out for just over 6 months. My dealer suspects the same as me, the facelift will come out around 2009 when the R56 convertable comes out. Same time they brought out the facelift for the first generation.

Also if this was a facelift model, wouldnt it be tested and manufactured in germany before the US?
