Sick of the old 3 Series, well BMW recently released some pictures and information about the new 2009 3 Series LCI, but the big difference here is the facelift! The new 3 series features some of the newest technology like the updated iDrive and the new lights.
The 2009 BMW is being unveiled at the Paris Auto Show in August to the world, it is expected to release into the United States in October. Some countries like New Zealand won't being seeing this masterpeice on the road until around February 2009, retail wise this 3 series won't be to much different, prices should not change despite the new additions to the vehicle. The new 3 Series will supposedly be in the 318i, 320i, 325i, 330i, 335i (Also diesel 318d - 335d)
As you can see (Top Photo), the new taillights of the 3 Series appear more aggressive and do not have the reverse light chunked on top, new L.E.D brake force lights (Below) allow people to better know how much braking force you are applying.
The BMW 3 Series facelift applies to only the Sedan (Saloon) and the Wagon, we have no knowledge of the Coupe facelift yet their have been some rumors. One thing we do know for the Coupe is the iDrive will be updated as well as a few minor touch ups.
The 3 Series has definitely been a leader in BMW (Being the best seller), from the first 3 Series back in the 70's to now, the e90, BMW has evolved in not just terms of design, but technology and economy as well.

-New front headlamps
