Since the hood, bumpers, and grills are completely different; I'm gonna guess NO.

My guess is yes they will.

I did a photoshop render just swaping out the headlights. The match was almost perfect. The angle of the shots were a little different which is why i said "almost Perfect."

My guess is that they will fit on the current e90.

When I first saw the official pics I thought the same thing, and also did a photoshop overlay and they do look really close! The mounting will probably be different or something though. As far as the tail lights, it doesn't look like it will work at all.
