BMW 3-series sedan facelift

31 Aug

Posted by Horatiu B. as Spy Photos

The guys at e90post have done it again. They were able to get a hold of spy photos showing the BMW 3-series sedan facelift. The new design will be available starting in September 2008 as a 2009 model. Despite the fact that the car is still camouflaged, we can see several differences from the current 3-series models.

I had a BMW 3 series back in 2002. I wasn’t impressed with it, as a matter of fact I disliked it enough to trade it in early. The new 3 series though definitely catches my eye. I hope they continue refining the look.

I disagree. 2002 E46 3 series , both sedan and coupe are ones of the best looking BMW’s in years.

I loved the 3 series 328i (I had 2 of them) in 1999 and 2002 - the shape, the feel, the power , ooh la la!! I currently have 2006 330i (sports pkg, etc) and I think it’s just OK…. I was in love with the older ones. I should have kept them!!
