The new 3-Series?

[nando]

I like the new 5 series better.. this one is too plain.

Which is why I like this over the 5. I dont need flamboyant cars, just nice ones.

taste is subjective, and I can honestly say I really like the 5 series.. this 3 series design just seems like a watered down version of the 5 for the masses. the current E46 looks like a honda! at least the 5 is original (btw I love the 5's tailights, not the 6's or the 7's though).

I think I like bangle designs because the cars are not all just random bubble shapes, like your typical fords and what not. they have harder edges, kinda like our old boxy E30s ;)

Its an improvement over the 5 (imho). The rear section styling isn't too bad although I would like to see a different configuration of the lights. I'm curious to see how the coupe will turn out.

I just got the July R&T and they have an article on the new bmw turbo D. Check it out on page 110. If someone can host it/ resize I will send it, but right now I'm too lazy.

twin turbo diesel... interesting.

I think it looks awesome. Personally, I don't think any new 3 series will ever beat the E30 - I love the look of the E30, it just is one of a kind, you know?

yea, those are off the X3 - the taillights that is.

Overall, I think it looks real good. Can't wait to see the coupe though.

I think everyone on this e30 board would agree.

And everyone out of this board would disagree.

is it just me or does the back look like it came off of an old Galant

bleh...

i think it looks 100x worse than e46's, e36's and e30's

motor choices dont sound half bad though
