  | Re: Is this a new sport package for the 3er? I have no idea what it is. But the most likely answer is: first facelift tests. Mind that in 2007 new MB C-class & Audi A4 are coming - so BMW are not standing still. Like in the E46 case the E90could be facelifted earlier - to fight new C & A4 more comfortly. This year some new petrol & diesel I6 engines are coming. In 2007 also new I6 N53 HDI engines will come, and NGI4 + updated I4 diesels (Europe). Nothing extraordinary. So some tweaks on bumper designs, perhaps daytime headlights (more prominent inner angel eye - like on E92 & E70), brighter CELIS LED strips in rear lights, some minor tweaks inside (eg. more chromed plastic), some minor tweaks (fine setting) on suspension, some new gearboxes etc are possible soon. I'll try to get more info. Last edited by EnI; 09-12-2006 at 07:48 AM. |

| Re: Is this a new sport package for the 3er? I wouldn't call this a facelift just some changes to seperate the 335i sedan from the 328i sedan, nothing more. I seriously doubt the 3-Series would need a facelift already even with a new C and A4 coming. They would at least need to see what those two are going to bring to the table before tweaking the nearly brand new 3-Series. M |

Why would they do that? E92 335i also doesn't differ from E92 328i ... Also the dealer ordering guides & other material say nothing about different bumper design on E90 335i ... Something bothers me here: there are no fog lights anywhere! That makes me believe its some sort of M kit, but it looks to tame for M - also air intakes are too small for M. Could it be 335si?  I'll try to get more info soon. | |

We also saw first pics indicating 5er facelift months ago - so over a year before facelift will occur (Spring 2007) ... | |
