But knowing BMW, they always have a facelift that will do it when the car faces mid-life crisis. Take the butt-ugly new 7 series for instance. The facelift did just the trick. But back to the E90 I really don't know how much they can do with the rear without sheetmetal changes. Somebody mentioned that the rear looked like the Waja and I think not really but both Waja and E90 did lose the plot in a way that the rear only looks right when viewed from certain angles. It just don't gel! This to me is a flaw major enough to affect the rest of the car. I surely don't want a car that looks right at certain angles only. No doubt the E90 is better built then the 'Japanese car feel' E46 and definately a better drive too but otherwise offers no incentive to trade in a E46 for a E90. I'd take the E46 anyday for it's timeless beauty and well synergised design.Let's see what the E90 will look like after it's mid life facelift. My guess is that it won't be pretty.</blockquote>
