I like the new rear. Personally I'd take the sedan.

I think it's an improvement in and out (which isn't saying a whole lot). At this point I like it better than the IS-F which is too 'immature' looking for me.

Beautiful! The wheels & tires are flush with the body so no need to go aftermarket. Just a classy design that does not scream boy racer.. Oh, and it drives nice too.. I want one

I love the looks of those quad exhaust pipes. They look simple and clean, yet you know there is power packed under the hood.

I find the rear end of the coupe just a little too feminine and I disliked the rear of the old sedan. This is an improvement - not perfect, but an improvement. The I-Drive 2.0 looks sweet. Damn BMW, they are always coming out with an improvement every darn year to make you want to upgrade....

i'm starting to think when we have 'facelift' threads we should have poles attached for 'like it' 'hate it' 'what ever'

i dont like it, it seems so ... ... ... ordinary

M3 has been out for a relatively short time, it needs a face lift

If I want a car with bulges and creases with some odd proportions, I might as well stick with the IS-F. Why would I need a weird looking M3?

The coupe is growing on me some, the sedan, not so much.

Sorry those 18s look seriously out of place, sadly it NEEDS the 19s to help with the looks.

I like both M3 coupe and sedan, they both look very good. I don't like the regular 3 sedan's front end as much though, glad that the M3 sedan incorporate the coupe's front.
