I'm sure BMW will have full LED tail lights at least on the models equipped with LED headlights. That would be odd to be all LED up front with halogens in the back.

Back to the OP, this car is pretty boring...not as good looking as the concept or even the Mineral Gray car in the commercial. Too much like the F30 and that car is pretty boring unless you up it with the M sport package. If the M4 is a fail then it's all over.

-----------

As for all of the hate, this is typical of ALL model launches it goes in this order...

Pre-Launch
"OMG, the new BMW XYZ is SO ugly! I'm so glad I got my previous generation XYZ!"

Launch
"The new BMW XYZ is kind of growing on me, I like this and that about it."

M-Sport Launch
"OMG! The new BMW XYZ M-Sport is the best looking BMW XYZ EVER!"

Sorry but that is fact....BMW always markets the 3 as a SPORTS sedan so if you call it what it is...the E90 drives better than the F30. For just a luxury car then that can be a biased opinion.

It's still opinion, no matter how much you try to will it by closing your eyes and clicking your ruby-shoed heels...

I've owned e90's, and e46's. My F30 is the best driving 3 I've ever had.. That's not fact... that's my *opinion*....

Class dismissed...

I hate how much it looks like the F30, which is a fugly car imo.

S5 will be my next car.

This is the same exact car (both even Sport Line) as the Mineral Gray one in the spy pics from the commercial shoot, just different color and still camo'd. Both of them are production form and both are Sport Line models.

Goes to show how much effect strategically placed camouflage can have on the overall look of a car I guess.

You are deemed incorrect by the standards of good taste. The E9x generation is, in fact, the biggest abortion of the 3-series lineage. We shouldn't debate this as it is a matter of fact. It must be said, the E9x trolls are the worst of the bunch.

I cannot understand why a coupe would be bigger on the outside than the already large 4-door sedan. I am guessing the new 2 will be this car's biggest competitor in terms of taking away sales.

Well i have a black E92 too and i think it looks at least as good as the F32, and a million times better than a F30.


Let's admit those side to side comparison pictures with that spacegrey chromelined e92 driven by a guy whose face is almost touching the driving wheel isnt really fair ( compared to a night shot )


Lets wait for the real thing

Another swing and miss for BMW.

They are pumping out too many different models to actually give the needed attention to make an amazing car, just lots of "meh" lately. Yet the fanboys are out on this thread desperate to do damage control. Its funny.

Holding out hope for the M4 still out of loyalty.

[IancoleTX]

It definitely makes the e92 look dated. It is a very nice evolution, and a beautiful design.

That said, the prototype looks great with the side vents camo'ed over.

[f30nynj]

May be its the color?! The door lines make it look ugly.

I don't like the side facia at all.

LOL...except for Hour 1 E9x guys who will cherish their superior design up to the hour they buy a new 4. It's like Rinse, repeat.

[conradb]

Looks like shit. This looks almost nothing like the prototype. I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

This coupe looks even more bland and passe then the outgoing 3 coupe.

[Vanmarsenille]

I just do not like the front end of the new 3er at all. This has done nothing to change my mind.

[OSAB1]

Sadness.
