Can this be it? Will this be the new design or shape? What do you think of it?

karliejai · 05-01-2007, 03:06 PM

maybe?! the new m3 sedan suppose to have the coupe front but sedan tail...

adamr · 05-01-2007, 03:08 PM

78.34% probability it will be

Safety2213 · 05-01-2007, 03:08 PM

Photoshop

I doubt that there will be any change to the rear quarter panel or headliner as suggested by this picture which is obviously an extended coupe. I am thinking the rear lights will be updated to look similar to the x5 or refreshed 7 - a bit more upscale. Probably minor tweaks upfront however minimal sheetmetal alterations.

E90Fleet · 05-01-2007, 03:09 PM

I believe the Sedan M3 will not look like the September 2007 facelift sedan

stormin norman · 05-01-2007, 03:09 PM

That's cool. No longer frumpy looking.

rpiopio · 05-01-2007, 03:12 PM

I hope not. I like the front end of my 330i. The coupes should have a longer hood to balance the extra butt length it has (at least visually).

LEDZEP · 05-01-2007, 03:19 PM

Interesting PS... looks as long as a 750li. Perhaps they will modify the face a bit to more resemble the coupe, but I would think they will still want to leave some distict differences.

I have a bad feeling that they will incorporate the bicycle reflectors into the facelift... for MY 2009.

E90Fleet · 05-01-2007, 03:25 PM

If you want something to wonder about, then wonder what this bumper is that was seen testing last year

Facelift bumper ??

iatacs19 · 05-01-2007, 03:51 PM

nah, 0 chance it's the facelift on the first pic. That's just a bad photoshop, if you look at the body shape it's completely different from the sedan, and I am sure the body style is not changing for a few years.

Ray · 05-01-2007, 03:53 PM

I think the current headlamps match the shape of the E90 and the bumper in Fleets picture apears to have given it a nice grin.

LEDZEP · 05-01-2007, 03:57 PM

I really like the look of the E90... I did when I first saw it. I like the scowl and agressive look of the "eagle eyes". I think even the mid-life facelift is too soon to make drastic changes to it. It's not like it isn't selling. Maybe just a tweak here or there to freshen the look... it will be interesting to see what they do.

Changing the kidneys to be more like the coupe would be a good change... the chrome milk moustache could go...

E90330iS · 05-01-2007, 03:57 PM

That picture is definitely derived from the coupe and they just fit two more doors. I am sure there won't be a body change except shape of hood, bumper, and fender to fit the new headlights.

Looks like a Passat.

I think the current design looks sportier.

bronco · 05-01-2007, 04:14 PM

nooooo please nooooo
I like the current e90, dont change it

BMW335icDDS · 05-01-2007, 04:30 PM

Wow that is such an improvement on the E90! Thats what they should have come up with in the first place. Elegant and smooth. Like the coupe... Nice!

hav2flynow · 05-01-2007, 04:32 PM

There is alot of dreaming and photo shopping on that website. Example is the 645CLS fantasy photoshop on that site just got bounced by the CS Concept 4 door coupe that appeared at the Shanghai auto show. Looks nothing like current 6 or the photoshop fantasy. If you guys have not seen the BMW CS, its in this months Autoweek or Autoweek.com

darkcloud · 05-01-2007, 04:34 PM

Please no. Honestly I'm not a huge of the e92's look. IMO the e90 looks sporty as it is. I don't think they will or can change much outside of bumpers, fenders, trunk and taillights, which listing everything does seem like a lot but I don't see the changes being drastic. I think the headlights will be left alone simply cuz they won't want the e90 and e92 to look that alike.

ch330i · 05-01-2007, 05:47 PM

looks like an extended 5 or the new 7 supposedly for i think 2009
