So far, looking at the e90 m3 spy shots and e90 shots, I'm liking the general look of the car. Maybe not so much as the e46, but I'm sure it will grow on me. What really sticks out though is in the front of the car - the two grills. On the e90 they aren't really part of the hood, so they have this goofy a** line running through the top of them. That really stands out to me and almost cheapens the look. I don't know, why would they do that? Does anybody like this look? Ok end of my :soapbox: haha

I concur 100%. It's the e90's biggest flaw.

IMHO, I think BMW are trying to keep the theme running through all their cars as seen now on the 5, 6 & 7 Series and the 1 Series for that matter. Its a theme progression that not everyone will like. Unsure how you could MOD this to make it look different. Personally, I think the M from the front will look a lot different, the lines will be a lot more smoother by the release date... here's hoping.

I don't like the grill either, it makes the car loook like a domestic. In fact, I am having more difficulty telling apart the pontiacs from BMWs from a distance lately. In another instance, I saw a similar grill pattern on a car approaching me form the rear. I was excited, because I thought it was the new 3. As it passed by, I realized it was just a lincoln LS. :-(

The new designs no longer look like BMW's. This is my biggest gripe. I don't like the new look.
