Spy Shots: BMW 3-Series facelift

For
those fond of delving deep into E90 minutiae, these are the best shots
yet showing off the subtle changes coming to the BMW 3-series. For the
rest of us, the tweaks are largely inconsequential. World Car Fans has
unearthed some of the clearest shots yet, and the change that most
people will notice are the taillamps, which look to get a slightly
different shape. It even appears that the cutlines between the taillamp
pieces on the trunklid won't line up with the rest of the cluster
mounted in the quarter panel - asymmetry. The mirrors look to gain
large repeaters for the blinkers, possibly just a camouflage ruse, and
minor updates likely go on inside and underhood, too. Also likely to be
quite noticeable once the wraps come off is a reshaped front fascia,
which appears to place foglamps next to the license plate. Overall, a
mild refreshing until a new 3-series can be whipped up. In the
meantime, the new 7 will set the template for BMWs to come.
