High Resolution E90 Facelift (LCI) Photos! - Page 5 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

JOSG328I · 07-11-2008, 01:52 PM

Oh man I can picture it now next March my E91 AW dumped on matte black 19's, that is a long time but I am jumping ship from the E90.

Imola.ZHP · 07-11-2008, 02:23 PM

I want to see those taillights lit up at night!

As for "blacklines" and "whitelines" good luck, they'll cost a pretty penny if they are direct LED replacements...

What else from these 5 pages...

That extra button on the headlight switch is for rear fog's, US e90's are actually wired for them if you want you can buy the switch or do the "Lego" mod. Use the search button for more info...

I'm concerned these are "euro" pictures and the US will get stuck with some amber in the headlights again. There was a spy-shot of an e90 with a bumper reflector, but I think we'd see that here clear if that were the final design. I guess only time will really tell...

Hope to see an "M-Tech" or "ZHP" version soon. Not that I'll be able to purchase one (I start BACK to college in January) but maybe I can snag an LCI CPO'd e90 ZHP around 2012. Hopefully I'll be done with Pre DDS studies and be looking forward to starting dentistry school...

No nav dvd slot on the new facelift ?

ianbiz · 07-11-2008, 03:50 PM

That looks amazing.
and they even gave it the new iDrive setup.

phatr1s · 07-11-2008, 03:51 PM

Maybe is the car color but it looks smaller than the current model.
Overall the headlights and the hood looks good, the rest nah....

exty328 · 07-11-2008, 04:27 PM

is idrive standard on all LCI e90 models ?

DSe93 · 07-11-2008, 04:33 PM

not baddd... I'm not such a big fan of the E90s (although alotta the ones on here are pretty cool), but this looks alright... I like the aero lines on the hood...

Something was brought to my attention...
BMW used the wrong cable for the 6FL option, and in the press release it states that the only way to transfer music to the car is via the hidden USB in the glove box, NOT from the arm rest so they must have photo'd the wrong cable!

I'm also a little confused about this

Could it be that the connector pictured in the arm rest is an iPod connector which allows you to control an iPod via iDrive, but not transfer music?!?

This would make sense to me, as the USB connection in the glove compartment is part of the iDrive to enable music import/export. The iPod connection is a separate option, I assume.

Way to come through with the brochure quality photos! This is a nice peek indeed.

Are we seeing the Blue Water Metallic in the E90, or is it TiAG with some reflective hue?

That interior shot looks like it might be the new Oyster leather too... me likes!

Do I see a scale model photoshoot coming in the near future?

StarrDlux · 07-11-2008, 07:00 PM

hmm side looks not much different had to stare for a while, tail not ad, nothing impressive. front looks like 1 series attacked it

not worth upgrading

the A5 still smoking it in the looks department, hopefully in 3 years we'll have something new more bat-man like so i can keep to the dark side

that wagon is hot. let me guess never to be seen in the usa? bad move. audi pwnz the euro wagons in the usa.

You bet! At least until I get a new 2009!

The wagon (E91) is already here, and will continue to be after the facelift, albeit with many fewer drivetrain choices. 328xi only here.

I do agree with you though that the facelift seems to do MUCH MORE for the E91 than it does for the E90. Which is perfect for me, since that's just the car we might be looking to upgrade this year!

He did come through as always !

but.... these were not leaked FYI these are the official BMW photos that BMW released so it is not a peak but what BMW intended. The brochures are not out yet and not completed yet for the US, neither is the US press release for the fact of the matter.

EHDEN · 07-11-2008, 08:33 PM

nice looking front bumper and no more amber lights. I like! back reminds me a bit of the Infiniti G. but I could be wrong once I see it in person.

Bimmerforlife · 07-11-2008, 08:57 PM

Guess what? More photos have surfaced, look closely cause there are a few difference angles, these are also high resolution photos, maybe the original poster can link them here or add to the ones already listed on first page.

Check them out, most are the same but there are a few diff ones.
1280x960 is great for wallpaper.

Day'mn!!!

Chips335d · 07-11-2008, 09:34 PM

I'm pretty jealous right about now.

That shift lever, the DCT, the new iDrive, the new trim, the shadowline, the diesel, the new colors, the led's....

Suddenly I'm ready to upgrade and my car is barely 2 years old.

SQP · 07-12-2008, 03:28 AM

Saddle Brown, yes.

Andro07 · 07-12-2008, 10:47 AM

Nice!

jetblk328i · 07-12-2008, 10:49 AM

Nice...i sure hope that those headlights will fit the current e90 with no problems....
