E36 facelift

BMW Car magazine carries a pic of the new E36 1997 design changes.

It has a more rounded kidney grill, similar to the new 5 series & a new
panel surrounding the headlights. Other external changes are new indicators,
new front apron, black side skirts - not grey & heated wide angle door mirrors.
Interior changes are storage nets on the rear of the front seats &
pyrotechnic seatbelt tensioners which pull the seatbelts tight in a crash.
It looks like the 320i saloon is being discontinued.
The 1997 spec cars are available in the UK from Sept 1996.
