Revealed!

Here's the front and rear Sport package bumpers revealed. Finally they got rid of the damn camouflage tape.

What you guys think of it??

chrisbin · 07-01-2005, 07:54 AM

Hmmm not convinced.....but red doesn't do it for me anyway.....

KUweatherman · 07-01-2005, 08:19 AM

I like it. I'd like to see what's under the hood though.

Mark · 07-01-2005, 08:39 AM

wow.. the first recent kit from BMW that i think is, ... TERRIBLE

I guess if ACS/Hamann/someone fills those two side holes with some kind of addon it could look aggressive, but as it is now, I think its really horrible. It just looks like the stock bumper with the center lip more pronunced and the side vents set into a more square pronounced shape.

The rear is just unsavable, it looks to big and bulky and gawky. Its an attempt to look like an M5 rear, but it just doesnt pull it off.

The M3 better be a whole lot better looking then that.

.. disapointed.. thumbs down

I stick with my CF lips

scottz5 · 07-01-2005, 09:01 AM

Front is looking good but the back wtf?

chazmtb · 07-01-2005, 09:07 AM

Eww. I was waiting for something nicer, ala the Mtech on the E46. I'm really having second thoughts of the E90. I was hoping the Sport Package would be kinda like an M package but the front and rear looks rediculous. With some of the prices I see for used 2004 E46 M3s, I am tempted to go that way. BTW, Mark, I love your M bumper on the E46. It's just a classic design.

thanks !!! i totally agree, it really is a classic design and I think all the E46s should come like this

:rocks:

lumberman · 07-01-2005, 09:24 AM

are they trying to copy audi's front grill design?

Jason · 07-01-2005, 10:26 AM

Gotta agree with Mark, when those two side holes were taped over for camouflaging the car looked more aggressive than without the tape

RedStripe · 07-01-2005, 10:32 AM

Not impressive

SCA · 07-01-2005, 11:42 AM

I don't know...

Maybe it will look better in person?

timzerofive · 07-01-2005, 11:45 AM

Ya, nothing spectacular. Doesn't make me regret not waiting nor entice me enough to go buy one and retrofit. Now once the spec comes out it might be a different story.

coco · 07-01-2005, 11:45 AM

Definitely kinda plain but i bet once we see hi-res photos with all the tape and everything removed it will look better.

maq · 07-01-2005, 12:01 PM

Not impressed.

The rear is ok, but the front could have been a lot better. The centre airdam is fine, but the 2 side ones are too long, too plain and too squarey. IMO, something similar to the M5's would make E90's front perfect

Hopefully there will be a nice M-tech II soon

LWL · 07-01-2005, 12:43 PM

Not impressive, not worth the $$, copying Audi's big nose........ good job BMW.

weytie · 07-01-2005, 01:01 PM

My oppinion : ugly in al it's way, you hardly can see the difference between standard front and sport front

Stijn

Armen52 · 07-01-2005, 04:03 PM

I'll chime in here as well... I am glad that it doesn't look as good as my car. That is all

AW330i · 07-01-2005, 06:08 PM

what if you were to put the add ons over the sport front?

punksterz626 · 07-01-2005, 06:10 PM

What happened!!

Hope this is one of those spy cam pics...

Hornet · 07-01-2005, 06:42 PM

Whitout seeing the final pics, I can't say if I like it or not. It's different though.

tbensous · 07-01-2005, 06:54 PM

the front is really ugly
