Luw, the 3er touring tail lights are not new! Look closer: they are the same as on current E91, only the part positioned on tail gate is camoed (since graphics will be a bit different!

Differences:
  • front bumper (different, less edgy shape)
  • front air intake incl. fog lights (different shape)
  • grille (more rounded)
  • headlight graphics (CELIS LED corona rings with DRL function)
  • hood (more sculptured)
  • side skirt (sharper)
  • rear bumper (different "diffusor" lip)
  • part of tail lights located on boot lid (different shape / graphics)


Warning: hood, front bumper (incl. air intakes), and part of tail lights located on boot lid are still camoed!

Just looking at those spy pics makes me think the facelift will make the E90 look alot better. Please, please, change the shape of the rear lights!!

Oh, and sorry if this is a stupid question, but what do you mean by DRL function? Thanks

Similar. Have X5, Hydrogen 7, Z4 M, and M6 Individual in mind.

I was told Summer 2008.

IMO March is too close since with September updated engines (+ED features) arrive. September more possible. Mind that in the E60 FL case we got first pics in December 2005 / January 2006, while the market launch occurred in March 2007 - so, more than 1 year after first spy pics were available.


@Amo: DRL = Daytime Running Lights
