If you are comparing 2005 and 2007 pre-LCI then they are more or less the same. However the 2007 LCI model will have a lot of enhancements (you can google and read up the differences)

thanks 4 d info.jz google but in web 2007 should ve facelift n lci but d 1 which im going to ve doesnt include although its stated year of made 2007.anyway how to identify its facelift or not for me all d same.

Some of the things which you can spot visually (assuming they didn't modify):

- The front and rear lights
- the gear lever. LCI ones are the same as those in F10
- the engine top cover is black in color as oppose to silver color in pre LCI N52 engines
