Wow. I'm not sure what to think. As an E90 owner I was really excited about the facelift. I'm underwhelmed.

I like the headlight treatment, new grille, and hood shutline but the curved lines that blend the grille with the bumper where the front license plate should go are terrible; very contrived and stick out like a sore thumb. I didn't really mind the "milk mustache" but do like the new grille better.

The rear lights look terrible on the E90 but for some reason, they look better on the E91. The way the outer lenses meet the inners ones just doesn't mesh. It sort of look like they fitted the wrong trunk lid. I do not like the current E90 rear lights either but the blacklines version are beautiful.

The new side mirrors are goofy looking. I love the current ones that look streamlined, aggressive, and modern. The facelifted mirrors are like big square ears. What an mistake!

The new iDrive controls look like a massive improvement.
