    It looks like it has a pretty big heads-up display projector screen in the dash at the base of the windshield?

    Looks like a smaller version of the 5 series, not sure that I like it (I like the 5 series but the design gets kind of boring if you see it in different models).

     I like it      


    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

    I like the proportions, from as much as I can see. Shorter rear, longer front.

    BMW 3 has always been a hit.

    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

    It looks like a smaller 5-Series, which looks like a smaller 7-Series.

    Appears BMW is back to it's old form, same sausage - what length would you like it cut?


    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

     Looking good


    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

    But you must all admit, the new 5er is gorgeous!

    indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine..  I happen to like both :)

    Back to the Future . The marketing/sales  team rules supreme again.

     

    Is the internet autoblog world satisfied  now, after bashing flame surfacing  the past decade for a single generation of models that looked distinct from each other  , which itself was a reaction to griping of BMW's  " sausage " cars 15 yrs ago ?

    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

     Does anyone know when the new 3 series will be launched?

    Regards


    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

     is BMW doing what Audi is doing?

     

    ie, making every model looks the same so the wives can't tell the difference?

    I was probably one of the few who didn't mind Bangle's flame surfacing and Bangle butt ideas. He set some radical trends in car making - which many car makers are now adopting. Look at any new Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Lexus sedan -- you can see the Bangle design touches in the body creases, rear end, and obtuse angled body lines.


    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

    Looks like signal lights are integrated into the mirrors too. Different hood line that current 3 Series as well. I like it.

    No surprises, a smaller 5 series. Front looks good, tail less so. The Touring will be the better looking car, just like with the previous one.

    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

    This is horid! Outside-in! A bit better than the 1er but still a le-tdown! 

    Nowdays only Porsche seems to hit homeruns with each new model.


    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

    I like it a lot. Sporty and aggressive. kiss

    rear is 100% 5er lol. But looks great. Well done.

    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

    Well I like it. the front is a bit strange but not bad. 


    Re: New BMW 3 series without camouflage

    It will probably look better with the M sport kit on it . Here is my crude attempt at an M sport front bumper.

    BMW seems to be making a range of models where only the size differs ...

    The interior looks VERY close to the 1 series. :-(

    A lot of more pictures here:  http://www.netcarshow.com/bmw/2012-3-series/

    It looks great on a lot of them, I don't think it looks bad at all. I predict the coupe will be stunning.

    I LOVE THE FRONT! How the headlights goes into the kidneys and exposes more chrome to the side. It's very i8 like
