I don't think we see this LCI until 1Q. Maybe the mirrors aren't final? Wouldn't mind the new rear lights, though; and the new voice control on iDrive update.

I would think they would call the March release a 2011 MY.

Yes, I actually did, sorry.
Scanned through the first two pics and saw what appears to be 17" wheels with a xi like lift kit on the car and could only conclude it was a base model 328i

Either way, with the lift kit on the thing (what is this a Subaru Outback now) and the base model wheels, I'll still wait to see the final, uncovered 335i with sports package to give full judgement.

But this waiting to release it in March 2010 as a 2011 is just ridiculous on BMW's part.
It's a minor makeover for fuk sake. Should of been a 2010 makeover.
DCT better come with this version too, or I'm off to find a different car for when my lease expires early next year.

I believe all these changes will be unveiled in Sept production vehicles...

The "updated" car will also be at the Frankfurt auto show in September.

New air con unit will also come from Sept production to E90/E91. This is because X1 will have the same updated unit, so they will no longer produce the old model.

And trust me.. there is no LCI E92 production until March 2010. How do I know that... I spend my whole day today planning the damn LCI production.

To another poster: yeah, covering up the Roundels (hood, wheel etc) is patently absurd!

Deep Blue Sea and Vermillion red are new colours.
Leather "Oyster" will be available as well.
Some new wheel designs.

Nice

I did think that the E92/93 will come out in March 2010, but then its quite early to see the LCI testing. The coming X3 is yet all with camo but it will be revealed in December 2009. So I still think the LCI model comes out in September and we will see it at Frankfurt, the reason, to boost up E92/E93 sales that were quite low.

[hsleiman]

Woah engine management updates? Are these coming to the E90 at the same time? If not WTF, looks like I will have to hold off buying yet again

BMW REALLY fuked up the 2010 e92 that's for sure.
Could of, SHOULD of been the LCI and no doubt put the DCT in the car like they did in Europe for 2009.

I'm sure they are holding off until the LCI e92 in March (as the 2011 MY) to put the DCT in too. Probably to help the sales of the overpriced and seemingly slow selling Z4 (which leads to their other mistake...not having a lighter weight fixed top sports version).

Oh well, maybe a C63 is in the cards.

[jpsimon]

i hope those mirrors are just on there for shits and giggles... they better not make it to the production model

[bavarian19]

It looks like the tails keep their same shape while the headlights change slightly.

Good news for a possible LED tails swap...

I know. I work at a dealer and have direct access to what is happening in september, and it is not a facelift.

[catch]

i like it! looks like it will be a welcomed change!

[citrixscu]

Nice. More HP is always a good thing.

[ClausCoupe]

Yes, the 2010 will have two body styles. And both is 2010 MY.
Just like the 5 series and 1 series facelifts had...

C



so 2010 will have 2 different body styles?... Sept- March production...then March production???[/quote]

[cstavaru]

So, for those who know more about this, will there be changes to the N54 power output ? Or maybe N55 replacement ?
