Up until now the camoflaged BMW 3-series prototypes have hidden the small details that have been revisited by the Bavarian designers on the current generation series. But now these latest spy shots coming out from Germany reveal some of these features for the first time.
The most notable new feature that strikes us when studying these shots are the indicators that appear on the side mirrors and we get to see the styling of the redesigned taillights.The front fascia also appeared to have had a slight touch up with a new bumper, modified fog lights and a differently sculpted bonnet. We can expect to see a few other extremely minor modifications in the cabin and the engines may benefit from a bit of emission optimization.
The updated model will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show this September and launched later in the year as a 2009 model.

why would a vehicle with US specs need that sticker? did they just change the bumpers/trunk to get it to US specs???
does this mean that also the EU version will get fron side marker lights?
i hope so. the 5series does have them in the EU version since the latest 5er was introduced, but all the other bmw did not upgrade to front side marker lights, i always thought bmw was very inconsistent with this.... if they change their thinking and upgrade all bmw with fron side marker lights they would be on par with volvo that has been giving all their EU models the fron side makrer lights...
