E92 Coupe Facelift spyshots (most revealing yet)

Sp82 · 08-05-2009, 12:00 PM

correct, the ordering guide is out for Canada--and lists the changes to the interior on there --i.e heated seat buttons..a/c control unit--which will be in the 10's..

do they usually list exterior changes on the ordering guide??.. I dont believe so? I may be wrong though.. Another thing--pricing hasnt even been released for MY 2010..

Good point... I don't recall ever seeing an ordering guide that said "newly shaped headlights", but there would be mention of the new colors and wheel designs.

Sp82 · 08-05-2009, 12:09 PM

I guess thats a good point too--- I dont recall their being a new color for the E46 coupe facelift in 2004was there?... I know the 328 got new wheels on the coupe... and that facelift was released I believe in March/April of 2003..

We could go back and forth on this--and the more I read into these--it may infact be a March production--which is stupid on BMW's part IMO.. ehh oh well

Well it is unfortunatelly so, the LCI model will not come in september, but in march. I do not find it cleaver. But the september model will get the "big" mirros. That the LCI model comes in march, it means, 3 Coupé/Cabrio (not M3) owners will still have to wait for the BMW Performance package, that is available mainly for 1 E81,E82,E87,E88 and for 3 E90, E91 and not for E92, E93

BEEN THERE DONE THAT

LOOKS like a grand prix from 1997

Shazmonkee · 08-05-2009, 01:33 PM

The only thing that really bothers me are the headlights. The scalloped design seems too much for the headlight. I feel like the headlight should be longer if they want to do that. But it's still covered, so who knows.

Joop! · 08-05-2009, 05:49 PM

What's already a good concept, doesn't have to be changed...

So little changes, but rather good ones except the doormirrors...
...they're way oversized...

DASHOCKER · 08-05-2009, 06:14 PM

Not feeling the mirrors & the rice led tails..

don't like the mirrors

Aija · 09-15-2009, 06:35 AM

Usually i like it when bimmers get their LCI. So far, I am not liking what I am seeing.

I am sure the final product will still look slightly better then the current E92 (bumpers, taillights, hood (maybe?) ) but one thing we know is that those side mirrors will look awful.

DrDomer · 09-15-2009, 03:32 PM

They're putting too many "edges" on this update. The current lines are excellent, they could've just focused on the side skirts and front and rear bumpers without touching the hood, light, mirrors. Ugh.

BayMoWe335 · 09-16-2009, 09:36 PM

I ordered a 2010 and still don't know which parts of this "facelift" my car will have. I just want the 326hp.

They can keep their mirrors.
