If they didn't have the graphics/camo on them you just wouldn't give them a second glance.

You need to replace your biggest selling car - take a risk in terms of design or evolve / update what you know sells - it's damned obvious what you do.

Inoffensive sells

And this is supposed to be the new interior - I prefer my E90 interior with ths iDrive screen set into the dash, this all looks a little busy and the screen is an afterthought.

Pretty sure a nose like that wouldn't pass the safety tests anymore frown

That front end really does look like a eastern/soviet block car from the 70s/80s biggrin

Am I the only one that thinks it does NOT look like a 3 series?

Look at the side windows, do they not look very high? i.e. 5 Series GT high? The wheels also look very small in comparison to the car which I assume is pretty big.

Its difficult to judge scale from the photograph, just cant imagine a 3 series having that side profile...

I hate the new front end treatment & in particular the kidney grille is far too wide more like a hippos nose.

The kidney grill should be much narrow & shark like , I wish they would start making good looking cars again.

Heading south on the M6 or M5, can't remember which. There were 3 of them in total.
