New 3 series pics

Just thought that you might be interested in pictures of the new 3 series

Looks to me like they've takin cues from saab and audi to me.....if thats to be the final design!!!, oh well i like last couple of coups anyway so roll on depreciation.

Sorry but its long overdue...............

  That would be Bangle on the left.

Dare I say it's not quite as bad as the latest 5 and 7 perhaps?  The design might suit the smaller body better.
We'll know for sure when we see it in the flesh.  I'm starting to worry about what the coupe replacement will be like... 

I like the black 3series, (E?), pics. I LURV the Red M3.

I hate the fact my E46 will now drop a few pounds. I like the fact that I may be able to get my hands on an E46 M3 cheaper.

Swings and roundabouts.

... I have to say that I've no real knock-out love of my coupes looks... they're nice and inoffensive but to be honest I preferred my E34. It does have 2.8 litres and a limmo tho, and that's what I love.

So roll on Bangled Beemers, the more thought-provoking the better. As long as they are a hoot to drive, and keep evolvng, through technology, to reduce weight and efficiency/power (Mag engine blocks, alu chassis legs, valvetronic etc etc) then I'll keep buying them.

Imagine a RS4, SAAB 9� Aero, Alfa 156 GTA et al with a decent RWD chassis ... now that'd be interesting. the only option to a 3 is an IS200 @ the mo - (I still consider the C Class as a bit too grown up). When Alfa pull their finger out and get a RWD platform it'd be interesting. Or imagine what Ford could do with 350bhp going to the rear of a Mondeo sized car? Or if Honda made a Type R Accord steering from the rear? Mazdas RX-8 is a perfect example of showing the way forward (although I have doubts over the engines delivery and reliability) - I hope more join in. Three Series are held in the regard they are because there are not that many options.

Anyway, got into a bit of a rant there, didn't I?
