That is gorgeous. Fingers crossed.

TheRox · 03-13-2011, 06:00 PM

That is really really good looking.

ugggg why do all the new cars lately have LED light strips, they're sooo lame!

chowbox · 03-14-2011, 11:34 AM

looks awesome

e92miami · 03-16-2011, 02:05 PM

Please BMW don't copy MB with those ugly LED's. BMW has to stay with classic looks and not ricer like MB has gone in the last decade.

machine · 03-16-2011, 02:09 PM

It has a bit of an alfa romeo touch to it, i like it!

TheBingoBalls · 03-16-2011, 02:14 PM

The body itself is probably somewhat going in that direction but what I would like is for the grille to be more wider than taller like it is in the picture. In the render, the grille makes the car sit up more than it should and reminds me of how "tall" the C-class is. 3er's usually have a wider stance that make it look like it sits low.

It's just a rendering by Car and Driver.

Sweeet!!!!

bmrm396 · 03-16-2011, 02:17 PM

and we know from previous hints that the turn signals will be under the main headlights semi-similar to the new 6.

otherwise i think its a fairly good mock-up. definately in the right direction overall but prolly off in a bunch of specifics here and there.

but i dont care, I WANNA SEE A COUPE!

muster · 03-16-2011, 02:24 PM

no more 330i

everything is getting turbocharged

sbw · 03-16-2011, 02:25 PM

I can't wait!

07E92TT · 03-16-2011, 02:29 PM

I highly doubt, it'll be that aggressive looking. looks good though.

crackberry · 03-16-2011, 02:33 PM

looks like a jack o latern
