This picture is not real one bit, I do not believe they will use the exact same headlights (in picture) that is used on the Concept CS, the body design on the 3 (pictured) is very similar to the Concept CS and the Concept CS is going to be upward of $250,000. BMW will not be able to manufacture a 3 Series like that without going upmarket (changing series category). “BMW will not make a car like this fullstop”.

I thought this was the look for the new 7 series that is coming out soon. If this is the 3 series I would say it is really UGLY. The 3 series now looks waaaaay better.

I can’t believe it! BMW still running on petrol in 2012? You know the times when people used to runn car on coal, when petrol was in short supply? Well, why don’t you just do that instead! It will draw the atention, people will look twice at the car with chimney, wont they?
Keep up the good work BMW, with technology such as this will be in space in no time. Cheers James

Yeah this is the new 7, not the new 3.

Interesting possibility of a hybrid, even though BMW had stated before they were against hybrids as their diesels get better mileage.

well i do agree the front looks a little to exaggerated and i own a 2003 bmw 3 series and id much prefer that. But what i think there trying to do is modernize the vehicle, have you seen the new r8 by audi there smokin, hey if you dont like it others will, the fact is that we have to accept change
besides it bmw they can pretty much do anything to there cars and ppl will lovethem the point is a bimmer is a bimmer

The rear and profile look are excellent. The front is not simpatico, no? Looks angry from the front - not a nice look - like lifting one’s upper lip to frown. I’d rather a neutral look; somewhere between a hint of a smile and abject indifference, rather than a cosmetic surgery stretch gone awry.

The eyebrows on the kidney grill look silly, in my opinion.

This rendering exercise deserves high marks. I don’t think BMW can come up with a better profile or rear although the cut on the rear lamps along the trunk seam will look passé by release date. If this were out tomorrow I’d be waiting overnight at my dealer’s.

It is so sad to see what BMW has done to its cars. The new design is no where near the design history of old. I have had more BMWs follow behind me and you have to look twice to see if it was a pontiac. The styling is developed a feminine softness that doesn’t keep up with the design line of the past. Sure it may handle like a Bimmer, but putting the badge on the newest model line is way off mark. Also looks like they went more toward the riceburner market, which is NOT their market.
And I’m not bashing BMW as a brand. I know your all gonna get your panties in a bind and say I just don’t understand, but I am not part of the market segment that just glorifies BMW just for being BMW. I am a proud owner of the last great design before this generation was launched. 2004 330i Msport package.
SO SAD 4 BMW

Scott,

Car magazines already have done comparos on the 335i coupe and G37 and they were suspicious why the G37 didn’t beat bimmer’s acceleration times. So, they dyno’d both cars and found that in crank numbers, the 335i had 350hp with about 300fps and the G37 read as 349hp with about mid 280’s fps. BMW really underestimated the hp ratings for the 335i significantly primarily to sell the rest of ‘06 M3’s…and ofcourse keeping it as much hush hush as possible just to make it more difficult for Infinity as they were making their final touches with their G37 coupe engine’s outputs.

As for the 2012 model, with past hp increases, I predict the new 3-series having still the twin-turbo, inline 3.2L w/ approx. 350 (under-rated) hp.

I’m tired of people just taking recent concepts (Concept CS) and Photoshopping them onto existing models (335i) and declaring “Is this the next [whatever]?” It has no basis in actual fact.

Scott, they might bump it, they could basically use the new M3’s engine

By: Scott

Scott — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 15:26:10 +0000

They also need to bump up the horsepower over the new 2008 Infiniti G37 coupe to beat the competition. I would like to see BMW add another 100 horses.
