What exactly did they change about the taillights? How can you say it looks much better when it's virtually the same, except maybe for different LED tech?

We should all wait for more HR pics to tell the difference. From that single pic i'd say that the shape of the part integrated in boot lid has slightly changed, plus the LED Tech which (hopefully) won't look wannabe CELIS anymore. I'm also hoping for LED turn indicators.

Yes, the graphics in the tail lamps has completely changed, you don't have an all-red tail lamp with only one quarter that is white, making the whole look like a 1990's Mazda.
It still is a bit massive, but it's way more modern now, and not ugly any more. Huge improvement.

They got the tail all wrong. Fascia is presented much better though.

So it's still suspense...this has to be one of the most awaited FL ever (which means something about the outgoing car...)...

Whether it is a photoshop or not , it'll probably look 95% like the real thing anyway.

Filming and photography for both 3er and 3er Touring has already begun in Cape Town South Africa and will head towards Spain , Italy, Portugal and the coastline of the west of Scotland over the course of the next few weeks.

Yes...but as a FL has rarely more than 5% visual difference to the non-FL car...

In fact the only interrogation is the look of these tail lights...The rest is usual FL stuff, bumpers and so, and the new hood and mirrors thanks to the EU.

We know the graphics inside the tail lamps will change, but will the shape change too? And will it look that better than the previous ones?
