I know it has been out for 2+ years, but it doesn't feel like it at all. May be I just feel like that coz I don't see much of them on the road, it seems like the F10 5 series isn't as successful as the E60 although it's a way better car! may be that's why BMW wants to refresh it a year early! For example here in Australia I see way more Mercs E class than 5 series! Not sure why though?!*
Doing a routine facelift in the middle of a model's life isn't an indication that they aren't selling. In fact, given that there is currently a 2 month wait for an F10 production slot, it appears that they are still selling very well.

As for not seeing them on the roads, it must depend on where you are. I'm in Sydney and I see a lot more F10s than recent model A6s, and although there are a lot of E Class Mercs in some suburbs there are (overall) no more new ones than there are F10s.
