I've added these pics to the original post, in case anyone hasn't seen what the F32 looks like without camouflage.

Design is boring, engines are same... so what improvements f32 got compared to e92?

Hmmm, maybe...EVERYTHING??!?

Seriously, you people are ridiculous. A major car manufacturer does not release something that is merely "as good" or "almost as good" as the last version. Try driving the damn thing instead of prattling on behind your computer.

That's it exactly! These look like an exact match to a benz mirror.

And to the above post, I find nothing of this car to make the E92 look dated.

The ONLY thing on the E92 that looks old IMO is the pre-lci lights. I'm honestly happy right now, I want to get a used M3 in a few years and I think it's still going to be a great looking car that doesn't seem to look very old (of course that opinion might change over time).

The looks of the thing are fine to me--I really like certain angles.

Its the size, from the pics, that is making me scratch my head. Like I said in my original post--maybe it is just the pics, but the thing looks huge. Like bigger than an A5 huge. That's more of the 6er ballpark, at least to me...

Maybe that's what people want or like--as well as the reason for the 2 series coupe to exist, which I hope isn't too bloated over the 1er that I have now.

In this conversation, bigger doesn't necessarily mean better.

F30 does not drive as good as the e90. This is fact. I would not say "everything " has improved on the f30 compared to the e90. If this 4 series has loose steering like that of the f30 then it is a huge disappointment.

OverDriven · 05-31-2013, 02:23 PM

That front bumper makes the entire car look cheap. I thought that the boomerang vent was just a fluke, but it appears that someone on the BMW design team has extremely bad taste. I cannot believe a company as highly regarded as BMW would let something like this fly.

yxjackxh · 05-31-2013, 02:25 PM

wow the pics dont look that great but honestly im sure it doesnt do the car justice. Im sure it will look a lot better in person even as a sport or luxury line. But the msport better look as good if not better than the f30 msport... so far im leaning on getting the new vette if its going to look like this lol

BQTuning · 05-31-2013, 02:26 PM

Every time I look at that front bumper its reminds me of these guys

What are f32 improvements over E92 ?

Looks like 435i will have same engine as E92 335. Does F32 got new iDrive touch or same iDrive with shortcuts as E92 since 2009? My E92 got full LED taillights, F32 got regular bulbs for turn signals and brake light.

I see big difference between E60 which I drove in 2004 and F10 which I drive now (more powerful engine - 3000 diesel), newer iDrive with shortcuts, bigger iDrive display, graphic display on dashboard, button for handbrake, full LED taillights, LED angel eyes etc... I can't see this difference between E92 and F32.

E46
Looks the best
E92
Drives the best
F32
Costs the most

Yes F32 will get new idrive touch. And BMW always saves full LED tail lights for the LCI facelift model.

Peahi · 05-31-2013, 02:37 PM

I'm not exactly jumping out of my seat. Maybe they're saving all the good stuff for the M4.

cormeister616 · 05-31-2013, 02:37 PM

No way!! I had this exact same pic to post, you beat me to it!

The F30 grew on me with the M Sport, hoping the F32 does as well as I was planning on ordering one. These recent pics are making wonder if I should though.

pbw · 05-31-2013, 02:49 PM

Something doesn't look right! Was excited by the concept, this doesn't do it for me

maybe the colour, lack of LEDs, style of mirrors?? Looks very similar to sedan. Hopefully when I see it in the flesh I will change my mind and sign on the dotted line...

AWF30 · 05-31-2013, 02:51 PM

This isn't looking good, I hope m4 looks nothing like this

BMWinGE · 05-31-2013, 02:58 PM

side profile and rear looks better than E92, but not sure about the wide mouth lower front. i assume once they remove the final pieces of camo it should flow better.

it may look big but i dont think its that much bigger than the e92.

Or Audi in my case. I never thought the day would come that I may prefer an Audi over a BMW. We'll see what the M4 looks like though.
