E90 Facelift caught winter testing

[rookie]

Looks like bumper, grill, side mirrors will be changed for the facelift. The grill looks more E92-ish than the current E90.You can see the whole article and other spy shots here: http://www.autospies.com/news/BMW-3-Series-Facelift-in-Cold-Weather-Testing-25474/

not to mention the bump on the bonnet!

Hey! that's my 158 rims..

 

[Schwepps]

The front lights still have masking tape, but I can't see any on the boot lid which is probably a disguise. That can't be the final look of the rear - I mean there are no reversing lights and it looks truly backward like this, like a Merc W124 of the 1980s

A good move to make the front look more E92-ish, but what's with the silly looking side mirrors? Uggh!

 

[danc]

Yup, people were complaining that the side morors were too small, but if this is their solution.... YUCKS!!!!!!

 

[Bimmer910]

That bonnet looks kick ass.... especially if it can fit an e92....

 

[AlexNg]

would wanna check out their new headlights (new pattern) and rear lights... hehe...

love the bumper and hood as well!

More spy photos:

Check out the hood of the LCI X5... The LCI E90 should get something similar.. that why they cover the bonnet in those spy shots..

Check out the shape of the rear lights.. reminds me of Audi A4..

That's all for now..

Aiyoh.......

 

[pussy]

looks like spy shots of the new M3...

 

[E46Fanatic]

Not really feeling the rear light cluster design at the moment. They should have gone more subtle like that they did with the LCI E60 facelift.

Also I think the sedan with the twin tailpipes is the 335i not the M3. No flared arches, quad tailpipes and M3 brakes detected heh.

More spy shots folks!

The rear looks alot like the Hyundai Accent. At best, when directly behind it, its trying to be Merc. The whole shape of the car is so awful looking - bland and lacks character. It can even be said to look a bit like the old Toyota Corolla.

I think these awful design moves are steps taken by BMW to reduce costs as it has been reported that even though they are making profits; profits per unit car, has been drastically reduced when compared to Merecedes for instance.

Consistent with the previous Spy shots of the facelifted E90. The wing mirror is a big step backwards to what we get today in terms of looks. I think the biggest tell tale between pre-facelift and facelift will be the front bumper and the rear brake light cluster changes.

 

[astroboy]

They should use these front lights.. I have reservation on whether they look better than the current headlight but at least, this is what I call face lifted..otherwise, same same ma..

 

[tth tyre]

it abit look like proton saga at the rear...

 

[INNOVATOR]

Is there a similar resemblance?

 

[r2d2]

Is there a similar resemblance?

Nothing new i guess bro,
this resembling wannabe BMW details could be seen a lots in lately Japanese new models car.
Funny 2day on the way to work, saw Toyota Camry front wannabe like e90, then when i'm at behind, it does have the e60 lining scale c/w the 2 red reflector at bumper.

Proton Saga?? i think maybe because of the back lights of e90 are still covered, otherwise more chisel.:top:

 

[astroboy]

No matter how they copy.. their battery still in the engine bay la..
