E90/E91 Facelift Official pics-(Updated with 42 Hi-res pics)

[AzNMpower32]

As I was saying to Meiac earlier, it looks like they didn't even try. They were too busy "designing" the X6 to give the E90/E91 a proper facelift. Heck, the trunklid and rear signal lights don't even line up.

The iDrive and dash look like a trainwreck. Whatever happened to BMW's vision of a clean and simple dash? And I have a hard time understanding why they put a 280km/h speedometer. At least the wood trim is improved. The light switch has unnecessary bling.

Take a look again at hi-res pics in post #2. There is big improvement from the plain moustache E90 before. Interior also looks good. But you only like E46 as BMW so the buck stops there.

The moustache is a good improvement. But they messed up the centre airdam and put an ugly crease. Aero kit, ASAP!

This may the first facelift that actually made the car look worse.

I should just shut up and go buy an Audi.

I think they did a good job, the tail lights don't work for me, but the front end looks good, the interior is still boring and plain but the new wood tones REALLY help as do the 2 tone interior colors, BUT why can't they do a combo of alloy AND wood? My Treg has alloy AND wood and they good great!

On the Audi thing, the new A4 is clearly a better car than the 3 inside, by leaps and bounds, we shall see how it drives, if it drives as good as it looks, it's better then the 3 for sure.

That is just the thing...it wont drive as good as a Bimmer. That is Audi's problem. They do look nice though.
