Wheels and front and rear lower bumper are different. Also that a new color looks good though.

i think the air dam would look more aggressive if it slanted outward, instead of inward.
like the new M3.

You could tell they covered up the turn signals on the side mirrors

I was expecting more from a mid cycle refresh. I thought we'd see new taillights and possible a new grille. Looks like small changes only which could take you a while to figure out, other than the signal in the side mirrors.

Looking at the lisense plate, could this be a euro version?

The changes seem extremely minor. An almost negligible refresh.

I'm not all that excited about upgrading to another GS. Either LS
or IS-F...

I'd do the LS, or maybe the new 5 series.

Im sure it will look the same with very little change and maybe a engine change...Look at how the 2nd gen. looks likes from 98-05 not much change, right? OF course the 400's went to 430's... This design is only 2 yrs old, i don't see it changing much, just like 2nd gen.

We'll see...........
One person reported it would have chrome door handles. This has painted ones, so I guess that report was inaccurate.

This may not be final though.

Shark fin can be easily added, same as chrome door handles?

Would chrome door handles look good?!

Where are the bi-xenons????

Rims look ugly. They should paint that lower door trim!! Thats the reason I got smoky granite so it blends in.
