I agree - this is actually a pretty minor facelift imo. My 2009 C63 was just facelifted a year ago and it was pretty major and annoyed the sh*t out of me. From reading Jasons post, it seems like the bumpers would remain untouched, and the character line MAY get added. Who knows, maybe all the F10 M5 gets is new lighting, which I could care less about.

And as for the turn signals, I dont see BMW already redoing the side-gills to eliminate the bulbs from them and adding them to the side mirrors.

The funniest part about this is that nobody else can tell outside of the M5 enthusiasts. Since I didnt own and e90-92 or e60, they honestly all look the same to me. I couldnt pick out facelifted cars w/o doing the research. This one definitely falls under the category of "rich guy problems".
