97' E36 facelift

Just picked up September issue of the CAR magazine.  It has a small picture of
the new facelifted E36.  Frankly the change is almost imperceptible.  As a
matter of fact I had to look for a while to see any difference at all.
Basically, imagine a front of a any 92-96 E36, and focus on the grille.  Then
take the bottom part of the grille (both halves) and make it narrower by about
an inch on each side.  This is what the new E36 front looks like.  No major
changes.  Gotta park it next to a regular E36 and look really closely to see any
difference.  To quote the accompanying article "...don't know why BMW even
bothered...".
