Holy wheel gap, batman!!!

T!m3 · 10-15-2011, 04:10 PM

Looks like s..t! Hate it! Really dont like a look of the all F series!
Mercedes and lexus style!
e92 M3 is the best exterior design, and will never get old!

DCT would make this car perfect

antzcrashing · 10-15-2011, 04:20 PM

OMG love that. Looks amazing, interior and exterior. Well done BMW

Yeah, especially that gorgeous 7 series he designed!

I read that the M-sport will have a short throw 6sp manual. Must've missed that in the text. Can anyone verify that? Also, will the short shifter be available in any other 3 series cars as an option??

Yes, that's right (see this spec sheet: http://www.f30post.com/goodiesforyou...30MSport-7.jpg).

Any one knows if that's the Monte Carlo blue?? I love that color!

Quasimodem · 10-15-2011, 04:53 PM

Wow, they finally made made an M-sport front end which looks good and they dumbed down the base E3x front end enough to make the M-sport worth the extra money. My guess is that this will be a real money maker for BMW, anybody seen a price list yet with the M-sport package? Do all three variants offer an M-sport package?

I see that they are trying to modernize the interior... I however liked the simplistic look of BMW, bimmer were staying close to the roots. I'm not too sure about how trim kinda falls off on the passenger side.

oh well... hopefully they will do a better job with the coupe. Personally i think they kinda messed up with this one.

IT WILL JUST COST MORE TO REPLACE A HEADLIGHT OR A GRILL!!

Theres something about the back that I dont like. The diffuser doesnt engulf the exhaust tips enough. The Tail lights remind me of a VW Jetta. Lastly, theres something about the back that reminds me of the 5GT.

But the car is beautiful otherwise.

. First mod swap steering wheel for the e9x wheel. Exterior is evolutionary to the point most cant tell the difference. Of the copy cat Mitsubishi Evo light cluster grill conector rib needs to go.

What is with BMW? They copy Ford Taurus side vents onto the M5, now this!

Keeping my E92 335 until and maybe I get the next generation M3\M4. This lukewarm iterations fails to raise a pulse from moi.

Total agreement...Keeping my 335 until I get a look at the M3. Why would I buy the new 335??

^^^ this +100 ^^^

Love my e92 335! I planned on getting the 2015 M3 but I am very unsure of where BMW is going with this. Happy to see Bangle go, but I had expected different with the new designs. I am seeing Asian overtones and I don't like it...

Not sure on this at all.....

deshields · 10-15-2011, 06:00 PM

I like what I see so far, when the M3 is released, I think i'll make the switch!

GT1281 · 10-15-2011, 06:06 PM

The car is beautiful except for the headlights/exposed grill design and the fact that the dashboard is also melting on the passenger side. I'm sorry BMW but those two design aspects are a huge FAIL. How did they f*** those up when the new 5 series came out so beautiful.

A lot of aftermarket companies are going to make a lot of money with new front bumper/grill designs on the non M-Sport versions.

Man that interior looks killer. I love it. It's a big upgrad from the previous models. I know the steer wheel looks off, but look at it this way it's something different to make this car stand out of its competition. I mean those seats with the M colors looks great, I can't wait to see a real M3-M4 interior.

The exterior looks really agressive, it kind of looks like a baby 5 series or 7, except for the head light.

Look at the texture of the dash. It looks like he prev-gen X3 cheap.
