The new CS-like LED graphics is a bit different IRL, and the very inner cluster corners (the ones closest to license plate holder) are not as sharp / pointy but a bit more rounded.

Otherwise this CGI is very representative. Incl. the LED turn indicators, and reverse light shape & position.

Then the new taillights are realy good designed. This rear end is absolutely perfect.

My only complain is that this is M3, so the rear bumper is not the normal versions one, wich, on the current model, i dont like so much. I expect the new one in much lees curvy and rounded.

Why the E46 style LEDs on top half?

Makes a good impression with the led. Led have now been a fashonable item on cars. we use them so much on cars now.

Again, I don't know what you're talking about. E46 did not have that. E46 coupe only had LED backlights (no blinkers), and only after the facelift. E46 sedan never had any LED light, and no E46 ever had LEDs in the top half I believe

E90 sedan has CS style LED backlights + LED blinkers. Nothing whatsoever to do with E46.

E46 sedan facelift (no LEDs at all):

When I saw these lights, and this big LED square area, I immediately thought to the FL e46 Coupe. Even if they weren"t blinkers.

The CELIS LEDs don't go with the LEDs, the two looks like glued together, but don't flow. The CELIS ends nowhere, not flowing with the big squared LEDs area.
And I don't really see the point of the new shape, it barely changes from before. Why not making a real L-shape, when they changed the bootlid? This is half-half, and as a result not entirely convincing. Still too bloated.

However, it looks million times better than before, that can't be denyed. But not really convincing. I only would've preferred a X6-type, with only CELIS or at least more discreet blinkers, and a more dramatic change in the shape (or no change at all to keep the same bootlid).

But only CELIS would've made the lights appear heavy, they had to cut them in two to enlighten them, hence the LEDs on the top.

Better, but still not completely okay.

I thought so too. But let's wait for the unveiling and see how it all pop off.

^^^ You'll be in the vast minority
I love those new lights. Looks better even than X6. The CS style with the blinkers looks really 21st century. Very awesome.
