Except for the front bumpers, I like the rest of the FL, especially the new kidney grills and rear lights.

Thanks! Now I have no issue with the rear lights. Love them!

People, you can't really expect a BIG difference in body work from this minor facelift and want it to look like the F01 7 series because this is still an E90, although the rear lights are shaped to look more modern and up to date. Also, the front indicator lights are similar to the ones on the 7 series. Overall, I think you would have to wait until 2012/2013 (i'm guessing) to see the new 3 series adapt the new BMW design elements. Like Eni said, we need to stop bitcing about the looks without explanation because you never know, in real life or in different colour, you will see the differences. BMW never fails at suprising us with facelifts or new cars.

BUT I do think Luw may have a point about there being too much red on the tail lights. But then I didn't have a problem with the original ones and quite liked them.

Look forward to more pics and info on the under skin upgrades.

When I saw the pics, I just thought: Thank god! The car looks excellent, hase very good style and design, is well balanced. And this although -as you can see in my posts before- I was really concerned about the new design.

If the car comes as shown in the pictures -together with all the additional other features, I-drive, navi, etc.- I can just say it was really worth to wait for the FL. Thank you BMW !!!

Best Regards!

This is how a 3 series should look. Classic. The pre FL 3er was extreme in the details including the tail lamps and front grille, both of which looked heavily contrived in an attempt to show you just how "new" the E90 was. This refreshed design makes no compromises and brings you back to the originality and character of BMW design.

Looks good in red. Any new colors with facelift?

That isn't cool. I don't care how much BMW inside info you have, you can't talk like that.

Nice, typical mild German car facelift.

I see quiet few changes and I like the new car a lot. Newly profiled hood, very stylish headlamps, nicely redesign grille, I like new mirrors and nicely revised tail lamps giving great look from the back. The car looks sportier and more aggressive.
