Which are old style halogen lights which have no place on a modern premium car.
Don't see why anyone would spend proper money on the pre facelift e90s. They are a mess of sub par cost cutting styling imo.
Which 3.0i for around 15k?

You can see it in the pictures? It's not even dual zone. Even a 1996 3 series had dual zone!
The first gen e60 interior and spec is terrible.
My understanding of the variations of E60 air is as follows:
That car - AirCon
Climate control - Independent temperature control of the front two occupants but at the same positions (i.e. face / windscreen, face / feet is the same both sides). Commonly known as dual zone CC
Extended CC is the same as above but allows each user to define how much air is blown through any vent through iDrive.
There was also a 4 zone CC which covered the rear passengers independent temperatures too.

I agree that the advanced system is far nicer (and so is the button controlled system in the e39), but it still carries out the basic climate control function of achieving and maintaining the selection cabin temperature by adjusting fan speed and temperature without any intervention.
If your definition of climate control requires dual zone then I concede that it doesn't have climate control
Better interior and LED tail lights. Some new engines (e.g. 525d got a detuned version of the 3.0 530d engine, rather than a 2.5). Automatics got a funky looking joystick gear selector.
There's more info here: http://www.5series.net/information/2008_LCI_Detailed_Changes.pdf
Only for the 3 series. The 5 had to wait till 09.

Well that was an interesting read, some of it made me call for the bucket like "the double kidney appears more powerful and autonomous", what, it looks the same to me
Is there a similar doc detailing pre-LCI, LCI changes for the 3?
I'd need to buy a blindfold for use each time I got in and out of the car to avoid accidentally catching a glimpse of the hideous front. Can't be doing with that as the neighbours might think I've finally lost it
Great, and people think my light upgrade was a waste of cash.
They still can't hide the fact that the guy/gal who designed the pre-LCI E90 backend was obviously blind, yes they ease the pain a bit but only a little bit.
