HATE HATE HATE the mirrors...

E90Alex · 12-02-2009, 05:19 PM

looks pretty cool

Craig@SupremePower · 12-02-2009, 05:22 PM

hmmmm..

FrankiE90 · 12-02-2009, 05:22 PM

e92..emm.

hhkim · 12-02-2009, 05:29 PM

Looks really sleek. The red one is a 335i xdrive and the tiag is a regular 335i. Hmm the hood is the same, i thought they would change it more like the e90 lci.

What's with the humongous fuck off gaps between the wheels and wings all about,you could live in that gap at the front.
BMW need to sort the springs out, and slam it!

Those wing mirrors came from the Zoo.

JeffL · 12-02-2009, 05:32 PM

I love the red.

They amputated the ears off of hippopotami ... which were living in the zoo ... which was located in the gaps.

I'm glad I went ahead and got the Z4.

Very uninspiring as there is no evolution to the lineage demonstrated here. The Audi A5 is still better looking by far. Audi doesn't need to worry about refreshing their looks for a good while. They just need to worry about their engine's performance.

JulieDriving · 12-02-2009, 05:44 PM

Thanks for the pics.

I'm still trying to decide if I should buy an E92 before or after the facelift. The LEDs look nice, but it looks like they changed the front a little, and I'm not sure I'll like it... Front is partially masked and changes look minor, I know, but still... it's hard when you think the current version is perfection!

Vermillion red isn't bad. I saw a Deep Sea Blue on a 135i the other day and I thought it was gorgeous! So, I'm sort of waiting for that to be available on the E92 as well...

335iheLLraiseR · 12-02-2009, 05:46 PM

looks like its going to get that eyebrow on the headlights, and why do the angels look so bright?

coh4777 · 12-02-2009, 05:48 PM

Changes are way less dramatic than the LCI changes for the e90. To be honest, I barely even notice the differences...

twenzel · 12-02-2009, 05:51 PM

the headlights look to be shaped a little differently....

MassBimmer · 12-02-2009, 06:01 PM

Wheels on the red look great for stockies...what a tremendous color!

BCA · 12-02-2009, 06:06 PM

Grilles are different too...

New ones are slightly flatter on top and have only 13 slats instead of 14

bavarian19 · 12-02-2009, 06:07 PM

like the tails.

I wonder if they will also give us amber LED's. They didnt on the E90 because they cost more to produce than the red LED's.

bmwaddict · 12-02-2009, 06:08 PM

Love everything about it!

Nater · 12-02-2009, 06:10 PM

angel eyes look to be LED... sweet

just be prepared to order '09 mirrors lol

c-who · 12-02-2009, 06:11 PM

Mirrors look horrific!!!

The hood also looks a little flatter in the front.
