Looks uninspiring imho. BMW playing it ultra safe again.

I like it.

I like it too. Check out the deliberate mistake:

Engine
BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line petrol engine
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
EU5 emissions management
High Precision Injection
Oil sensor for level and grade, warning by Check Control system
TwinScroll turbo
VALVETRONIC with Double-VANOS

From looking at the pictures in the link, I doubt I'd have noticed it was an "all new" 3 series, if someone hadn't mentioned it.

It looks pretty good but I'm never that bothered by the four door 3 series TBH.

For Me it's the coupe that needs to have the big wow factor when it comes to styling.

I thought the E92 looked superb when it came out but then Audi brought out their A5 coupe and it just edged the E92 into 2nd place when it comes to styling*, so the next 3 series coupe is going to need to be pretty special to take the style crown away.




(* The A5 may have the edge when it comes to styling but I'd still take the E92 every time, I'm a Bimmer boy 'til the day I can afford a Ferrari!).

Just give me a coupe with the new 312bhp diesel that combines at 51mpg.

My company are looking at a leasing scheme thing.

Its got to be a 'green' car though...

This might just be the winner if its a under 110 job, or the 520 ED if its set at under 120.

Like it.

Not a huge fan of the front end.

Undecided.

Like the interior though.

Funnily enough that's one of the things I like most about it!, the rest is a simple case of scaling down the latest 5 series for the design.



(I must confess though that although I'm not that bothered by the 4 door 3 series, I do think the latest 5 series looks superb!).

and the 7 Series when you can tell 'em apart!

I didn't take to the previous E39 and E60 5 series immediately when they came out but they did eventually grow on Me. The F10 on the other hand has got Me smitten from the start!, I just love the way that it looks!.

In this respect, the new 3 series 4 door looks pretty good but it's the coupe I'm waiting to see.
