    BMW 3 Facelift Official!!!

    Hey guys, the new facelifted 3 is official.

    Looks quite good. They made some small changes to both the front and rear of the car.

    In the front they went from mad to smily and in the rear they went from smily to mad hahahaha look at it yourself.

    Weird. Their design filosophy seems to consist of creating design lines, and then try to break all lines, so as to make sure there is no fluency whatsoever left... I REALLY don't like the looks, way too busy.

    I still think your car has the best front of all E90s. The E92 front .

    I like the new front end fascia treatment.
    But the hood - all those creases are just unecessary.

    The rear end is tidied up a bit, but the rear light cluster - why the silly offset between the shut lines. Another unecessary distraction.

    BMW design direction is really beginning to annoy me.

    Re: BMW 3 Facelift Official!!!

    This is really crazy. How long was the pre facelift sedan on sale? 6 months? Those guys who recieved their car, must be really really pi$$ed of!

    But BMW always kinda mess it up for the M3. Also the e46 M3 came out short before they did a small facelift. The changes for that model was really minor, the biggest change was the bigger navi scrren and different lightning sheme for the backlights.
    When the major faclift appeared 2 years later (different headlights etc etc), they didnt even touch the M3 coupe and convertible.
    I always thought those comnpanies work with a big forecast, but it seems the M department, at least, doesnt.

    Its pretty reiculous of BMW, they should have just unveiled the M3 with the new face.

    However, what im interested to see is if the E92 FL will get new headlights, and if it does, will it also affect the E90 M3 sedan since it has coupe front??

    Saw the FL E91 Touring on the A9 near Eching today. Have some pics on my phone if anyone's interested. I have to say, it looks very good.

    No change to the front of E90/E92, the only external change for the E92 M3 is the addition of Le Mans blue:
