Not feeling it. Still a good looking car, but they complicated the otherwise clean, simple lines of the front end. And the taillights - why would they not line up the lines on the rear fender & the trunklid? They look like the SAAB 9-5's taillights, which look goofy.

Complicated design for the sake of complicated design makes no sense.

Exactly. Closely related to brahs (bros who consume a lot of pot, reggae, and longboards), brohams (surfer bros) and dudebros (fraternity bros).

I don't like how the taillights on the trunk don't line up. Makes it look like the trunk isn't alligned properly. It's like the curve in the rocker panel line on the 1-Series - makes the car look like it has frame damage.

I think they fixed what was (seriously) wrong with the E90. The old taillamps looked like afterthoughts.

Part of me wonders if there's a way to get those headlights on an old E90 and part of me wonders if there's a way to get rid of those damn eyelids.

the E90s originally were designed with a Audi B7ish tail light design. So BMW didn't want to go with those.

But look how sneaky they are with this revision. ALMOST passable as a decent design. And some hint sof the original design:)

The only thing I don't like is the front bumper. I don't like the drop off on the upper set of creases and I don't think the lower ones should be there at all.

I'm not wild about the tail lights either but I could live with them.

They love their miss-aligned trunks at BMW don't they? First the bangle-butt 7 and now these tailights.

Looks decent, but something about the side view of the front bumper doesn't sit well with me. The way the shutline between the fender and bumper cover is angled upwards just makes me uneasy. I appreciate how they have made the front end sleek and not so blunt-nosed like many of today's cars, but I think it could be improved slightly. A classy car,though.

The wagon.....

I prefer the new tailgates. Nice refresh.

I would love the return of a 330i 270HP in NA.

It seems like that they want to make it look classier.

Saloon looks wayyyy better with the M3 nose. I thought all saloons were getting the facelift but I guess not...I would seriously consider this over the Coupe.

Looks better than the current styling, nice enough face lift to finish out the life cycle.

The M3 sedan to me is the hottest looking of all the 3series cars (standard and M series).

front end is a bit curvier. Almost M5ish on the bottom. Still not big on the taillights. I'd like to see it in other colors.

So the taillights are slightly uglier. I don't notice any other differences, offhand.

They still look like afterthoughts.

The front end looks excessively busy as well.
