I do like the f30 but I hate how the front is stooped down so much at the front. Kinda like a sumo wrestler sat on it. But I can't hate on any one of them. All great cars, the e46 though is a classic.

e46 is the best looker no doubt....
what's interesting is how the pre-LCI e90 isn't very good looking at all. The LCI makes such a big difference with the kidney, tail and head lamps. Most recent LCIs (i.e. x5, x6, x1) dont look very diffferent at all from pre-LCIs.

E46 Wins
E46 will always win in design, for the next couple decades.
I'm glad I grabbed a decent E46 330i ZHP before it was too late! There will never be one like it from BMW for some time. |

And the headlights merging into the grill, where did that come from! They should have dropped that silly idea! They should bring back the forward nose from the 635i, long vertical kidney grills and maybe horizontal side grills. THAT is classic. |

But as I said, i did notice more similarities with the e46 and F30 in this pic than I had before. I wonder what the reaction was to the e46 when it debuted. |

The e46 is a looker, but nothing will ever beat the styling of the e30.

oh lord... the E46 really does look so much better than both.
E90 LCI is so much better looking than pre-facelift, so that's the comparison I'd like to see. but damn, the F30 is weird looking. E46 M3 just went up a couple notches in the list of my potential next vehicles. |

Wish they get inspired by the E46 when the next 3-series is coming out.
I have a E21(first 3-series) and a E46 parked outside. The F30 would look misplaced next to those, like some kind of modern art next to a Michelangelo. |

F30 is just OK (nothing spectacular) compared to E90, If BMW just had tweak E90 Design, it would be still look good in today's world and competition. I feel like slapping bmw for F30!!!!
