The current body style has been on the market for 4 full years. I don't consider the fishmouth grille a facelift since the W12 model came with that grille from the start. In the meantime, the 745i has gotten a fairly extensive facelift/upgrade, the new S-Class and Lexus LS came out for the 2007 model and the Jaguar XJ8 got a freshening recently.

I doubt there will be any engine upgrade given that the '07 model got a modest 15 hp bump, which is unfortunate since the current 4.2 engine trails all others in hp and, mor eimportantly, torque. I still consider the A8/S8 to be the best looking of all the luxury sedans, but I think a mild facelift of the interior and exterior is in order to keep the D3 going for another 3 yers before a full redesign.
