I know this photo has been posted before (page 38 to be exact), but to me this is the best indicator of what the facelifted 3er will look like..and I have to say, it's great to see the 3er taking on a more edgey and aggressive look and feel.
Does anyone know if the above photo is of the facelifted 3er with the M-sports kit, or is that how the standard f/l 3er will look?
I especially like the front spoiler, especially that lower lip and how it curves back into the mouth towards the outer-edge near the fog-lights.
The increased curvature of the hood is also a very appealing change, and it's clear now after looking at the BMW GINA concept that this 'buldging' hood is something BMW will implement more with upcoming models.
But the part of that photo which I absolutely love the most has to be the sexy curvature and flow of the front wheel arch. How that surface smoothly curves from under the light, up alongside the edge of the light and then continues on over the wheel arch and fades around the beginning of that sharp character line....it's just beautifully sculptured!!
After having seen the new A4 on the streets lately I was worried that even the facelifted 3er would not look as dynamic..but these minor (yet purposeful) design tweaks here and there make the facelifted 3er look a hell of a lot more promising and fresh.
