| I was just wondering when the coupe was getting a face lift. The new kidneys are boring! ![]()

| I'm curious about the hood - looks like a sheet of metal over the real design. Furthermore, I guess the lights will change, imcorporating the new eyebrows.

| Yep, but these little changes will make a huge difference. Just imagined the E92 with those awesome LED turning lights of the E90!! Must looks fabulous!

| A lot more will change than we are seeing. This is just a decoy. The backside is untouched, and the front lights will change too, with LED blinkers and probably eyebrows... And like Dunkel said, the whole hood is covered up too; it will get the lines the sedan has, the Z4 has and the new 5er will have.

| I expect the same changes as E90. New bonnet, LED, Tubes in the rear. Better interior materials etc etc The shape of the rear lights will remain same and perhaps a new M-package.

The stripes in the rear lights of E39 5er and pre-facelift E90/E91 were not using (CELIS) LED technology while the E92/E93 already are. After the facelift of the 3er sedan/touring there has been no model in the BMW lineup that isn't using LEDs in the stripes. ![]() | |

| This was the situation before E90/E91 facelift (look at the box that says "LED Lichtleitstäbe Heckleuchten"). ![]() ![]() |

![]() But yeah, I guess they might update the rear light graphics (e.g. by adding LED turning lights). I expect the facelift to include most of the things already mentioned by you and others (e.g. new bonnet, updated front lights (with LED blinkers) & kidneys, modified bumper, better interior materials etc.) ![]() | |

| IMO E92 with M package is still the best looking Bimmer. I like it even more than new Z4. |

| Wow in fact I never realized the e92 didn't get its FL yet. It still looks so fresh and so nice that it doesn't need any FL at all (unlike the e90 which badly needed it). I hope it won't change much, 'cause it's really beautiful as it is and hasn't aged one bit! That car was (is) really a home-run for BMW!

| e92/93 received some interior upgrades by september 08, same time as e90/91. Chrome in cupholders and lights switch, new idrive.... all or at least most of those seen in the sedan. Now it is only pendant a minor cosmetic refresh. Maybe just new bumpers, wheels... |

| What really bothers me the most is that the face lifted 4 door didn't get the dual clutch transmission in North America, so i guess the the coupe won't get it either... WHICH REALLY SUCKS |

| The rear lights of the E92 don´t fit the rest of the BMW line-up nowadays, maybe they change them with this FL. |
