No, they didn't.
That is how the Individual sound system speakers look.

I think this is more desirable than the M3 coupe - maybe because its new and a bit un-expected.

I think E92 owners are going to say - I like the new front of the car.
E90 owners will hate that they have changed the face to that of the coupe. Sort of defeats the purpose of making an M3 saloon. Perhaps this is what the E90 facelift will look like though.

No rear LED lights is also a bit of a put off. In saying that it looks like the best modded E90 out there - que the angry mob.

Great thread Mark! I too would have liked to see the headlights remain more similar to the current E90... maybe a sharper downturn in the inner corner for the aggressive look. But it is what it is... not bad. That interior is awesome! Make mine Lemon with CF please!!

Strange. The driverside door speaker has a cover in the pic, and the passenger side don't.

Chrome Window trimmings
My Rearlight
and my ACS Spoiler

Also, it may just be me but it looks like it sits higher than the 330i.

The decklid on this M3 makes look like a little p...y!!!

But everything else is f.....g Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:

Everything you said I agree completely. Especially the rear tail lights. They are terrible.

Umm... dont think I like the 4dr version.
Any word on spare tire?. does it come with one, or RFTs again?

Thanks

Mike@ModBargains · 10-08-2007, 12:19 PM

Looks great!

The speaker on the driver side door has a cover on it, so i beg to dissagree.

Hello!

WOW!!!!!!!

Ron@Modbargains · 10-08-2007, 12:21 PM

Exciting! but it needs a drop on the front quick! Hmm coupe or sedan version now tough choice. If they had the coupe rear lights it would be hot.

Phil325 · 10-08-2007, 12:23 PM

im lovin the rear bumper with quad exhaust but generally its "meeeh" id get a used M5 like someone said earlier or the coupe m3

but nice car nonetheless

Speaker on the Passenger side does have the same cover. But from that angle in combination with the lighting you don't see the cover itself, but the cover's "strut".

Best regards, south

MrFrizzle · 10-08-2007, 12:38 PM

Ahh, I like the new front end. The front headlights are pretty, but less edgy than the original e90. Hmm, looks like they just simply took the e92 headlights and stuck em on here. I wonder if they are going to produce all new e90's like this.

flyga3 · 10-08-2007, 12:39 PM

The front looks awesome!!

Too bad I'm still waiting for my ED E92.

Wish they changed the rear tail lights like the coupe, then it would be 100% perfect!!

sugashane76 · 10-08-2007, 12:45 PM

Hmmm I like it.. except for the rear lights. I really like the leather trim on the where the aluminum or wood trim would be. I HATE the wood trim on my E92. looks good on teh doors but on the dash, it looks very glued on. Sorry.. got off on a rant :P

SpencerM3 · 10-08-2007, 01:05 PM

Looks like a min M5, I love it

stressdoc · 10-08-2007, 01:08 PM

Near perfect.

Did that change for '08? The reason that I ask is because my buddy has an E90 without a sunroof, and the only reason that I have one is because it was a no-cost option.

d3l0n · 10-08-2007, 01:35 PM

i prefer the coupe... and eh.. it looks soo... not aggressive..

it looks normal
