Yes the coupe is one good looking car, but the sedan... eh, not too fond of it.

is that boring as in you see 3 series everywhere or as in you think the design is boring and mediocre? if its cos you see heaps of em, fair enough. but if its because the actual design is boring then youre a fool. call it ugly, call it a disgrace, but you must admit it has character, and therefore is not boring.

Yes it should have looked like this from the beginning ... a very attractive mid series upgrade IMO ... the worst thing with the first iteration was the way they played around with the twin kidney grille in the style of the 6 series ... it looked all wrong on the 6 as well so why would you repeat the offence of adding those ugly chrome bonnet eyebrows? ... beats me ???

...Now this is what i also call a face lift. The competition have come out with new cars i.e. C Class but wait. One car maker jumped up with fright and binned their facelift to come out with a new car. What ever happened to believing in your product but if that product isnt selling then well you might as well jump up with fright written all over your face. BMW has definately played their cards well to Mercs 'assault' by simply coming up with a face lift since the E90 still has 2 - 3 years before the new model comes up. I bet that same frightened child of a car will again jump up with fright to release yet another model before the very new one has hit midlife. They don't trust their products now do they?

They finally got rid of the previous model's ugly 6-series style grill with chrome bars at the top.

That's an awesum improvement to the front!! BUT the butt and side is still as ugly as hell!!

It's almost as if they've taken the current version and blended it a bit with the E90. I like it. The wagon looks great with the dual exhaust. I wonder if the i-drive is still as unfathomable...

I say scrap the current 3 series altogether, design something completely new. I hate BMW's new design philosophy. The E92 M3 and the 335i are the only 2 decent looking models in this range. The back lights on this new model are hideous, same goes for the front. That said, the interior is rather nice.

Congratulations to BMW's designers on what will be seen as a "successful" facelift of the present 3-Series model. However, it must be said that from its successful launch a few years ago, the 3-Series was always going to prove easy to facelift. Take for example, the "heavy-handed" styling treatment of the car's nose (apron/bumper/grille/intakes,lights)and would have any designer would have been running for the drawing board! However, it is a BMW and I forgive it. Only the current 5-Series was a "Mission Impossible". There was nothing to facelift.....RSVP Isaacu
