E90 at LA Auto show (well...)
...sorta.
A friend and I made a last-minute trip to the auto show last night. We knew there really wasn't going to be anything special, but he had to go for 'work' purposes anyhow.
But as always for me, there was something interesting out in the parking lot...
Now, we know what the car on the right is.

I can't see it clearly but was here a badge on the e90?

I appreciate the side-by-side pic. Thanks.  I still think the E46 looks better, but that's just me.

Sorry, it was the junk lighting in the structure and the junk image editor I'm trying out.
No badge. Tape everywhere. Type32s with blank centercaps. It was a US-spec car (no rear fogs, US MPH/KPH speedo) with xenons, AT, iDrive, wood, black interior and Orient, or slightly lighter blue. It has E39-style rear window shades built into the doors, which is nice. It also had a power rear sunshade.
My friend and I were in line looking for a space, and we see 3 people get out of this car. He notices it's a E90, so we both look over as I drive sloooowly past it. I find a space a litttle ways up, and we spent about 5 minutes poking around it. I noticed that there happened to be a E46 sitting next to it, so we stepped back to do some comparos, and I took this shot.
Side-by-side like this, the E90 doesn't look appreciably bigger. Though I think it makes the E46 look a little dated, sorta the way a E36 looks dated next to a E46.

Now, we know what the car on the right is. | I was at the LA Auto show today and asked the BMW rep if there was info on the E90 and he said "What is an E90?" I said "the new 3 series" and he said, "oh, I have never heard it called that"
LOL

Very nice catch Kaz!......
Boy did you get lucky;; I work not too far from BMWNA in N.J. and I've never gotten a glimpse of any camoflaged cars or prototypes. 
While it may not look the size of an E39, I can definitely see the increase in width and the higher and somewhat larger trunk vs the E46. Thanks for the comparo.
