Well, they do kind of suck.

Actually I kind of agree with this, sort of. They are using the E90 design elements and bringing them down to the level of refinement that the E46 had. So, in a way, it does kind of fit between the E46 and E90. But– that doesn’t make it a step backwards necessarily.

Wow, I wish I’d seen this earlier. Great post.

If to scale, it really looks like the F30 is the same overall length of the E90, but with a clearly longer wheelbase. Maybe that explains the shortened overhangs, or maybe it indicates their engine intentions, as in the 1 series (seemingly designed for 4-cylinder + no awd). On the note, the hood is even higher — does this mean we should expect an even taller engine, or one mounted transverse?

Nice job tracing through the camouflage. I have some pictures of supermodels you can get to work on:)

Viper boy; see, I’ve been looking for MB pages for you to see:

Problem is, the have 0 comments.

Honestly I would normally think you are a brave guy coming here and trolling, offending with your comments, and insulting fellow posters, but since you are in the comfort of your home, I just think you need this kind of negative attention.

Anyways, happy holidays man.

Are you sure this is the new design and not just a test mule? it looks awfully similar to the previous generation, just with perspective distortion

Not to worry, lol. 1 series will increase in size unitl it reaches the current 3 series size, and then a new series below 1 series will be needed, ans os on…

Yet another increase in size? One of the reasons I drive a 1-series is because the current 3-series is too big to be fun any more. Sigh.

I think bmw is going backwards with this design , the F30 looks like its from 90′s , the E46 looks like something from a recent past and the E90 should be a new 3er. an obvious step back in every way was for the new 7er then new 5er then new 3er , all three have that same dull look , bmw entering 2010…..with no elegance and style at all

duckoprey you have said it all. the current 5 series still looks fresh today but i think it was either love it or hate it. I my love the design but when all you hear from narrow minded people that its ugly it gets on your nerves. It was radical, different forward looking a design classic. So you would think the new one would be WOW but its nothing special.. The new one will sale more because its not polarizing. The new 3 series will be an eveolution of the e90 which will end up looking like the new 5 series. with the old 7 current 5 and 3 you would never mistake one for another. Unlike audi i hope they find a balance between brand identitty and model uniqueness

Please don’t make the new 3 look like the 5 and the 7 as though it’s an Audi. Their A4,5,6 all have the similar face… (-_-)
