Facelifted 3 series NEARLY uncovered

Park2670 · 03-12-2008, 10:25 PM

Thanks for the pictures, but I REALLY hope that we dont get those mirrors. They are really ugly!

neuronpetkowski · 03-12-2008, 10:25 PM

front fascia tweaks, tail light updates, side mirror rework (yeah, they're big and clumsy)...but really, these are not significant enough for me to think it looks any different - which is fine by me.

the core design remains.
hmmm, maybe a flower vase in the middle of the IP...

The E90 has the light tubes but they are NOT LED. They are LED only the E92 and E93.

Why not? BMW carries market specific headlights for North America. So if it's because of new European laws, then the mirrors could just be for Europe.

I've said this before that I still like the current e90 - I think the current one is much more aggresive looking and the new shape lack character. Reminds me of a pontiac or mazda

It looks like they kept it the same, but the inner corona is on so I'm thinking the E90 finally got the Angel Eye DRL's.

montreal_bimmer · 03-13-2008, 10:11 AM

mirrors are ugly... i think there are better pics oput there though...

neo871 · 03-13-2008, 10:27 AM

i wonder if it will really get the recently launched DKG as an option ?!?!

ChrisM135i · 03-14-2008, 07:14 PM

Some (maybe new) spyshots i found.. nothing new so far i think

The only thing i cant understand: If you compare the mirrors of the sedan and of the touring, you can see, that the touring got the huge, big mirrors and the sedan got the actual "normal" mirrors..?!

Lshaw · 03-14-2008, 07:20 PM

side mirror reflectors/leds suck

Bimmer007 · 03-14-2008, 07:34 PM

if they put led in the sedan tails i wonder if it will go to the coupe as well

cycler · 03-15-2008, 01:25 AM

I had the the 06 model. This one looks sportier

dreamk · 03-15-2008, 02:20 AM

I think I said it before, but judging by the images above, it seems like they're gonna be all-red taillights with the same shape...

Bimmerforlife · 03-15-2008, 01:55 PM

I disagree, why tape up something if it's the same? They are changing something in the tailights.

neo871 · 03-15-2008, 02:48 PM

i'm sick and tired of this camoed pics, i want the official ones!!!!!

M KiLLa CaM 3 · 03-15-2008, 02:52 PM

i wouldnt bother owning that

neo871 · 03-15-2008, 02:54 PM

Jake C · 03-15-2008, 03:17 PM

Do they kind of look like the 5 series tail lights?
