According to this thread, this is not a facelift, but testing of a new 6 cylinder turboed engine.

A minor facelift may be coming out sooner than expected. Check these out.


I really doubt those pics. They seem to be half paint, half some kind of Scotch tape illutions.

What was the story around the Autobild pics?

I have to agree with your comments above. It looks like someone did a bad photoshop or used a marker to fill in things. Either way things will change eventually.

One of the quotes from the site:

"Car is starting to age already, front end styling looks disjointed and lumpy."

They also changed the cluster around the kidneys..
Current models have a single cluster for both kidneys; these pictures show that each kidney will have its own cluster just like the M-bumper.

Just as long as it's nothing too drastic, I'm happy. I don't like when I buy a car and it looks totally different after 2 or 3 years, like japanese cars.

Those pics look like a wind up to me. All they'll do is put LED rear tail lights on and change the wheel designs same as the E39

Thats my bet anyway.
