BMW seems to be going back to the "one sausage in different lengths" approach with the 3, 5 and 7. Whatever. I think that most 3er drivers will accept the new style, but worry about overall weight and length. At some point, BMW is going to have to lighten up their cars to deal with the upcoming MPG requirements. It cannot be only about smaller engines. 4 bangers trying to lug around fat bodies don't get good mileage either, especially turbos.
