Oh god what have they done!! I saw one on display today beside the old generation in person. The old generation looks so sleek and proportionally beautiful. This new model looks plain ugly with the weird hood and new front light design. I am very dissapointed.
BMW shows scary domination in this segment of cars.... old E90 is STILL at this moment, even though its production is finished, the best car in the segment. Its better than C class and A4 in pretty much every area, except rear passenger space. And best part is, F30 is better than E90 in every single aspect. This new 3 series really is the best small executive sedan, by far, and will stay that way for many years, probably until others copy enough things off of it to catch up.
@SERBE4EVER if you have the skill to get the power of a 6 cylinder out of an 4 cylinder with less consumption why wouldn't you do that? just so that some haters can't say "its rubish because it doen't have a cooler amount of cylinders"???
@TransporterEurope all audis are same looking cars like a4 a6 a7 a8 the best and only good looking car of audi is a5 and it cant beat the 6 series. oh and also new 3 series looks way better than its match a4 even merc c-klasse.
well I think it is just perfect. I do have one from 2007 SE and I just love it.
In my country BMW sarcastic translation means You Will have expences (of course more or less) but thst is complete bull.. it just runs as it should be
Whenever I see someone driving something like a bmw, range rover, hummer, porscha, etc...the first thought that comes to mind is: douche bag. There's nothing wrong with having money. My wife and I do alright. But people don't buy $50K+ vehicles because they want to drive them. People buy $50K+ vehicles because they want to be seen driving them. Thanks, but I was loved as a child, I have plenty of self-esteem, and my penis is big enough. I don't give a shit what people think.
I love u guys. you are building so amazing cars on the factory. Thank god that u are exist. Otherwise i would need to drive Audi or Mercedes.. and who wants that. :D
@flawns no. i lived in bavaria. i saw like 20 of bmw 3 series everyday. i do know everything about audis, and enough about bwm and mercedes. if you used google search, then you would realise that 3 and 5 did indeed copy the look of the bwm 7! especially bmw 5 and 7 do look very similiar..
@B3STone If you search a few web sites have done an exact side by side photo comparison showing the exterior and interior of the new and current model.
@PTChris1 Yeah buin the end that defines a BMW.. not the interior.. the tehnology and other gadgets... just the true power of the engine and the Rear Wheal Drive.
I am not digging the front end. It looks like Shrek sat on it and squished it. Otherwise, it looks like a mini-5 Series, which is certainly a good thing. I am partial to the E90.
It's like BMW is testing different design style with the 3 serie only. Because they know it's gonna sell only because it has the name 3 serie. But with the 7,6 and 5 they don't pull of this ugly tricks. Too bad this 3 serie F30 is equal to the E30. Just as ugly.
to be honest i was really scared that BMW would ruin the 3's simplicity and beauty...but no, once again, our Bavarian friend gave us an amazing looking machine
As far as design goes, it is underwhelming and disappointing. It is barely an evolution of the design. The new face is uninspiring and the hood slopes down so much that it doesn't match the proportions of the rest of the car. The proportions are completely off, especially when seeing it from the side view.
@Unholybarrelmaker Yes, especially the rear. Those taillights are basically the same ones as the 5-Series'. And the squared off trunk edge, cut lines, bumper, everything is almost identical to the new 5-Series rear end. A very lazy effort by Van Hooydonk.
Its incredibly gorgeous! .. the first 325i! ...no! The E36!... no wait...! The e46!... whats that thing at the end? A 5 or a huge 3 with a Z4 nose? Ewww... can we bring the others around one more time!?
best 3 series ever, thanks bmw, def gonna buy one! i really like the modern line and interiors,awesome design guys, once again thanks for such a beautiful car!
I am not sure I like the front end, it does not look like the 5/6 series, rather like the x1... I hope i am wrong, sometimes, the car looks better in front of you
