Refreshed BMW 3-Series Coupe: Can YOU See The Difference And Point Out The Changes?

You know what time it is.  With the E92 starting to hit puberty it is time for an update.  BMW has traditionally done mid-lifecycle updates in the form of restyled headlamps and taillights as well as different front/rear clips.  Relatively minor stuff, but in some instances it can change the whole character of a vehicle.

For instance, on E46 coupes when the headlights were given a more streamlined look, it took away the angry glare that was presented when the model first debuted. 

A featured item at Bimmerpost shows slightly modified headlights that evoke a 7-Series like look.  In addition,  a chrome strip, reminiscent of a 3-Series sedan front valence, is mimicked.  These minor modifications present the 3 coupe in a more elegant fashion.

Is this a better design direction for the E92 or should BMW draw up some meaner and more aggressive?  Let us know!

Sometimes it's the little details that count.
