What facelift??

Sometimes, changes are NOT for the best. I'll keep my current look and interior, thank you.!

Thanks for the link.

I have always liked the LED lights on the SL, so that is a good change. The shape of the side mirrors don't match the flow of the car though. Where is the backup camera? I was hoping they would have it in the new car so I can get the integration kit...oh well.

2010 RRS ; BMW K1200R; 14 E350 ; 14 RRS on order
Changes that I see:

new side mirrors (I LIKE!!)
new Comand screen (Should be better)
new wheels (better than current stock wheels)
New steering wheel (don't like it)
New CF interior option (looks clean)
New LED tail lights


All the above make it pretty attractive over the 07

the wheels are a definite improvement, as is the CF trim

+1! Have to agree ... more like Botox rather than an actual facelift!
