Don't you just love the Alpine White with M Sport package ?

I ordered my 2009 e90 in AW and I was having some concerns about the taillights color and shape matching well with white but wow...stunning...

Nobody told me that they created a 3-series Outback?

iheartsole · 09-15-2008, 07:33 PM

i like how they made this one look!

Tag · 09-15-2008, 08:10 PM

Why would this car be debaged if it's new? I'm guessing it's a 328i since it has a single exhaust.

I personally am not digging the rear M bumper; I like the stock one better. Font bumper however looks better but I don't "love" it. Wheels look small, almost like they are 17"s... maybe 18"s. I like that the mustache in no longer on the sedan but overall I'm not impressed especially with the M package.

There is a "factory de-badge" or "Model Number delete" option available in certain countries.

This single exhaust indicates that its a diesel powered E90. The 335d will have a different exhaust tip though.

is it just me? it doesnt have the sporty sedan feel/look.

i still like my 08.

E90 ANdy · 09-15-2008, 09:32 PM

eh, i dont like the new mtech from bumper, the car looks like it just shaved off its mustache (where the front license plate goes) IMO: ugly...

exidisjon · 09-15-2008, 10:16 PM

Looks slightly like e46 taste was added near the headlights inthe front. Also looks like a 1 series front.. I prefer the before facelift better.

The model is the european M Sport model. Its probably 318i, 320i or 320d (which have similar exhaust tips). The american 328i has twin exhaust.

The wheels ARE 17", that's why you may think they look small

Aija · 09-16-2008, 04:21 AM

definitely an improved look on the E90....

curious as to how the E92 refresh will look in 2010.

cstavaru · 09-16-2008, 05:01 AM

Shipping blocks are still in... the cars will be at least 1.5-2 inches lower after they take them out! Wow ! What a relief

GhOsT_E90 · 09-16-2008, 05:17 AM

Well since I am stationed here in Germany, I can go down to any of the local dealers and see whats new for 09, so what does everyone want to see and i can see if they have it. I can already show you a picture of a E92 335d

No I don't but that is why they have other colors.

Thanks for the photos.

320i has single exhaust.

Bimmerista · 09-16-2008, 08:48 AM

I believe that model is a 320i Msport - even though a very similar muffler is used by the 320d as well

The 335d has the same exhausts as the 335i.

3pnt4maro · 09-16-2008, 12:06 PM

I really am not a fan of the changes except for the new headlights...take those and slap them on my E90 and I am a happy camper...Absolutely hate the tail lights, as they are hideous....I just dont think they look right at all...the inner portion on the trunk itself is not proportional to the outer part of the tail light, what was BMW thinking...I prefer the tail lights now, in an LED and thats the perfect match for me...sorry just my two pennies
