The first sightings of the BMW 3-Series Sedan facelift have appeared on the internet at E90 Post, and they reveal a new bumper design which feature a central air vent with two smaller vents flanking it that feature a little bar going across them much like what BMW has done with the E70 X5‘s bumper. Ignore that little orb that’s in the central air vent – it’s not some centrally mounted foglamp of sorts. That’s just the distance sensor for the Active Cruise Control, something you can already see on current BMWs equipped with it.
On the rear, parts of the tail lamps are taped up, which could mean a redesign of sorts. I am not a fan of the current E90 tail lamps – something that resembles the current 7-Series facelift and the E92 3-Series Coupe would looks much better on the car and make it look wider as well. The hood also looks taped up, so it might be redesigned.
It looks like BMW has decided to keep the more aggressive E92 nose job exclusively for the BMW M3 Sedan, which is a pity. But I am sure you’ll be able to do some aftermarket modification magic with the M3 sedan’s front panels and headlamps onto your vanilla 3-Series Sedan.

Softer touch!
new mercedes benz c-class better then tis for sure….
Rear looks too damn mundane..Looks like some old Ford of sorts.. when i say old.. i mean really old. if the rear had better styling.. id say it would be better looking if compared to the new C-class.
Evan the Pre Falce Lifted Accord looks better than this.
the rear bumper looks so much like the ugly-butt facelifted honda accord..the rear tail lamp is obviously been covered….seems like it extends on the the rear boot alot more…
Good timing, head to head with new C Class
Oooh no, my goodness. What happened to the Beemers.In terms of design and styling, i reckon C-class would stomp on this 3-series flat.The arse is so disappointing.Just another resemblance of some Korean’s crappy…
Audi B8 A4 looks better.
Yoo…aint working fer me….BMW=lose
still an ugly 3!
the current E90 is the worst looking 3 series, just use the front and back design of the E92 to fix it
facelift, facelift and facelift…… but almost no difference at all…..
prefer Audi A4 or the old Toyota Altezza…..
No much difference… Still prefer the New A4!
so fast facelift ?
5 really looks nice,but this 3 series..something is not right…
the new rear is uglier!!
i really hate BMW car design nowadays especially the interior
no more drivers oriented
Whatever is done to the car with milder looks, it will still win the Car of the Year Award… the drive is still superb.
new bmw 3 series back arse ugly…
To me the current 3 series has lost its sparkle – i don’t mean engine performance of course, but the steering.
Gone are the days when the 3series steering offer direct connection to what the wheels are doing with effort level that is suitable and not too weighted.
Now the current steering is sticky. Too much friction and the effort level is heavy! I wonder why BMW has gone down that route. It puzzles me.
