Cosmetic changes for 2007 325i??

thebd · 05-11-2006, 07:19 PM

Anyone know if there will be any cosmetic changes to the 2007 325i. I ordered my car last month and it should arrive in the next two weeks and am now worried that I will be receiving a year old car. The 2007 models are supposed to come out in July/August and it would suck if they had any changes.

If you are concerned about cosmetic changes then you have little to worry about. On the other hand, if performance is an issue...

None

E90Fleet · 05-11-2006, 07:31 PM

Also 2007 E90 models only officially start asof September 2006 production

LEDZEP · 05-11-2006, 07:34 PM

My guess would be a slight facelift in 2009.

stressdoc · 05-11-2006, 07:35 PM

Well, he's from N Virginia, so there will be one small cosmetic change: 5 -> 8 on the rear quarter.

Yeah, they won't refresh until at least 4 years of production have passed.

It will be about 3,5 years customer production

Expecting facelift around September 2008 Production ( MY09)

Hey, if I'm guessing the same as you - I am indeed in good company!

shragon · 05-11-2006, 08:05 PM

agree with others. face lift won't happen that soon.

stressdoc · 05-11-2006, 08:07 PM

It would be nice if they nuked the orange liner in the headlights ASAP though.

Well what's all this talk about the 335i and the 328i sedans coming in sept. Is this just rumor or is my 325i going to be old news by the time I get it in a few weeks?

RichReg · 05-14-2006, 07:51 PM

Nope...its true.

Still technically a rumor in that BMW hasn't officially announced it, but all of the salespeople are being told by BMWNA that the 328 & 335 Sedans are coming in the Fall.

thebd · 05-14-2006, 08:00 PM

Are they just changing the engine, or are there going to be changes to the body too?

RichReg · 05-14-2006, 08:10 PM

Probably not....if there are any 'cosmetic' changes, it'll likely be
stupid little things like trim pieces in the interior, etc. Nothing
majorly noticeable.

Based on the e36 and e46, the e90 will go through really quite minor cosmetic changes through its model life and as Fleet mentioned, around half way mark is when BMW "re release" the car as the new 3 series, but you and I know that it is not really new.

Of course subtle changes to the car are ongoing.
