Another set of real life photos of the upcoming 2009 BMW 3 Series Sedan facelift have surfaced onto the web.

This happens just shortly after two weeks ago, the first set of 2009 3 Series photos were posted by us.

Last week, all of BMW's client advisers in the country were invited to a hands-on training on the 3 Series Sedan and Wagon models that will be launched in October. They had the opportunity to play with the new iDrive system as well and their reaction was very positive: easier to use, more polished look, friendly interface and most important, new useful features.

They stole that Ideal tail lights from Lexus. Look at the tail lights on the new Lexus LX...

You mean the one with all that chrome around it. I'd rather not look at it, cause I might get sick.

i like the new rear end the best, before the twin pipes looked kinda last minute they didnt seem to really fit like the rear was finished and they decided on twin pipes, now it looks flush with the styling

Unbelievable how a minor change can transform a car. The backend/taillights are just so much better than before.

well since toyota and bmw are the best in the auto indusrty

they push each other

ie: if toyota never made the prius the germans would never improve diesels like they way they have(blue tec, clean diesels ect.)and diesel hybrids

Such contrast from front to rear... from evil headlights at the front to "wanna play peekaboo" tail lights at the back.

It's funny how BMW try to cover up the emblems so people can't figure out what car it is. BMW is so easy to recognize, especially the front kidneys grill.Not only that but they are testing it Europe, wow, that's really going to be tougher to figure out.

Say what you want about the styling, this 3 series is twice the car the E46 was in terms of power and luxury.

Hey, check the oil level in your E90 3 Series... oh wait, you can't.
Hey, let me twiddle with the i-Drive in my E46 3 Series... oh wait, I can't (thank God).
Hey, what a supple ride in your E90 with the sport package... oh wait, NOT.
Hey, what a supple ride in my E46 with the sport package... oh wait, that's how BMWs are supposed to feel.
Nice instrument panel in your E90... oh wait, NOT.
Nice instrument panel in my E46... oh wait, classic BMW. Why mess with what works?
Dude, please. The E90 is an excellent car, but the E46 was damn near perfect.
The taillights on this updated Bimmer are an ode to the '88 735i. Classic BMW and good to see that they're going back to what works well for them. Now if they'd just bring back Bronzit, the world would be right again.

A LOT better looking than the pre-facelift models. Minor changes alter the look!. Good job.

Might help your childish and baseless attack if you learn the difference between there,their,they're etc.

Good Luck with that.

IMO, this new 3er is definitely an improvement - much better road presence now.

PrancingHorse, "Woken"? WTF is "woken"? And you must know "wraith" is "wrath" as you meant it. But it's cool. I'm just trying to help.

I like most of the updates, although I always loved 2008 design. I just don't understand why they chopped up the tail light line in the transition from the fender to the trunk. It looks misaligned.
