   I like the headlamps and the grill work on the LCI E90 but I think the front bumper is way to “busy” in it’s design and the rear just doesn’t look that good to me. I prefer the Mk I E90’s before the refresh…which sounds weird to say. Oh well, maybe it means I can pick up a 2006-2008 E90 on the cheap! :-)

   I like the car…I think it looks great….I currently own a ‘04 E46, and in 2 months I’ll be getting the ‘09 E90…The car looks sportier and aggressive.

   Amazing job. I just wish the back of this car was sharper.

   I pretty much go along with what others have said.
   It’s well done, an improvement overall- but a little droopy drawer fussy at the bottom of the front fascia.

   M-sport package really nails it – none of the fussiness of the front bumper shown here. Dig the shadowline trim.

   @Eric:

   I absolutely agree that the M Sport package really pulls the front of the car together.

   The M package is amazing. I wonder if I should retrofit my 335i :)

   Definately best looking car in this class. The front bonnet gap is a bit too wide though. You can see it clearly at some angles.

    Looks like Titanium Silver to me….

    LCI is a great update – makes the already good looking E90 look even better all around.

    Only part I’m disappointed with is the wheels (335 ZSP Sport Package wheels shown in the picks). I really loved the previous 335i ZSP wheels – I think they were the best looking wheels BMW has made in 5 years. I can see what they wanted to change them for change’s sake. But since that was the reason, I don’t understand why they simply stole the wheels that have already been sold on the E92’s for so long. I would have much rather had an all-new wheel design….

    I agree, all the good looking rims have dissapeared after the LCI

    To answer the question above: this car is bluewater. It’s a new color, similar to titanium silver, but blue instead of silver.
