As a US spec car, that does indeed have the sport package (unless someone just put those rims and that's it). However, the M-package is different because they come with different bumpers. These are just the standard ones.

I'm excited to see a diesel BMW. It's been a long long time since I've driven one. And I thought the 330d was a monster

Well, in my opinion, the photo isn't bad!! New wheels look great!!

Thx ... hope to make a better one next time .

BTW - IMO the proportions of the E90/91 look much better with the facelift. Especially when the 3er is painted in this new gray color.

Great pic pekka

It's sharp enough to see that ugly tank in this pic

why is the tank cap so low in the bumper?

It's not the tank cap, it's the cap to add the blue stuff additive... this was eplained some posts ago, I believe on the previous page. It's there where I learnd it, cause it's the first time I ever noticed it...

I still would have put it inside the trunk, but then again, im just a mortal and not a designer over at BMW.

I believe this system is found on many tucks by the way, Scania uses AdBlue if im not misinformed.

Dear Community,

Could somebody help me a little bit? What does that mean?
Now there are 2 versions of the front bumper circulating:
[IMG]file:///C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/Imrich/Desktop/BMW1/facelifted2.jpg[/IMG]
1. with two "black spots" left & right of the front plate (="standard edition"? ?? Do they have a function?)

2. No "black spots" (= M-package- bumper???) straight line bumper

Does that mean BMW produces 2 versions of bumpers for the same car?
Does that mean that if I dont like the "standard bumper", I have to buy an M-package (How much does that cost?) in order to have the version 2?

Thank you for a clarification ! Best Regards!
