LED turn signals for front & rear. Wouldn't you want the brake lights LED as opposed to the turn signals?

Interesting hood, I agree. Bigger side-view mirrors though

it has adopted the grille style from the coupe, no more silver trim attached to the hood.

Front and rear turn indicators now look like they are LED's.

Exterior rearview mirrors have changed shape, slightly boxier, perhaps slightly larger.

The inner portion (on the trunklid) of the taillights shape also has a step down, the top of that portion no longer matches up with the top of the fender portion. Fairly inline with newer, and some older BMW designs.

Front bumper is reshaped/styled.

the hood is still tripping me out a little. it is almost as if bmw wanted to put the say hump from the m3's hood.

The angled taillight section makes it look like there are fitment issues with the trunk.
