Besides the new B58 engine, looks like the least effort ever invested by a company to create a facelifted model. I can hardly spot a difference besides thefront stock bumper and a bit on the rear taillights. This could mean that all efforts are directed towards the new 3 series generation. The E90 LCI has 2500changes over the original E90.

So besides the headlights, the car is pretty much identical.

Hmm. In my opinion, pre-LCI tail lights > LCI tail lights; at least in the daytime pics. Night pics may tell a different story.

^ what he said.

I'm still not sure that LCI tails (especially on the M3) are that much of an upgrade that warranted the countless threads and debates over on F80Post.Guess I won't know till I see in person!__________________

Can hardly see the difference in the front. As for the taillights, I think I like my older pre-LCI design better. I like the straight lines better, not that curvylook.

AppreciateAppreciate 33 Blindside_137 BMWFreaky f30jprad, ,

Pretty cheesy that the F80 M3 pics are exactly the same pictures, just with the new lights photoshopped in. I mean, look at the reflections on the body(which are also likely photoshopped).....they are the same size, shape and everything. That is physically impossible.

Unless it's a new car, and they just photoshopped the same highlights in? Either way, CHEEZY.

AppreciateAppreciate 22 aajami ZEEM3R,

Seems to be a lot more internal and performance updates (suspension, 6MT, steering and motor) than exterior. Which should have a larger impact on theactual drive and performance characteristics.

What are the 340i engine specs??

It didn't help that they used completely different color models in each one. The interior "comparison" was a LH drive to a RH drive. LOL

But I agree, visual differences are negligable, hopefully the mechanical differences are more significant for all those people who waited to get a car for thisupdate.__________________2015 328d X-Drive Touring Alpine White M-Sport | DHP w/Dinan Shockware | Chipwerke PRO power module2015 Audi S4 Sepang Blue P+ | DSG | Tech Package | Adaptive Suspension | B&O2015 Audi S3 Misano Red | 19" Sport pack w/Mag Ride | B&O1983 Porsche 944 All stock


Man, I really had to look closely to notice any cosmetic differences. A mild change IMO, considering the past LCI 3's.


I don't see any difference , which one is the facelift ?With these minor differences you really can't tell , why call it a facelift?
