What did they do to the gorgeous 3 series coupe

Saw one today in SE and from the back it didnt look very good at all.

Im really hoping this grows on me because the 4 series was my banker as my next car

Grew on me as I just bought one :-)

Is that the model angle? the selfie angle?

Right behind it looked fat. Thats the Kim K angle!

[....,,,,..,,..]

It does look better than the saloon though.....

[Steven1077]

TBH I think it looks 10x better than the old 3 series coupe

It's a gorgeous car.

I went through the same thing in getting rid of my e92 to get this, and even after I had I thought I'd made a mistake. I loved the e92 immensely as it's just a classic sexy, curvy, beautiful shape.

But now 3 months later and a 3000 mile road trip holiday round France, Italy and Switzerland and I now lurrrrrrve the f32. It is definitely a grower on you.

One thing I would say is take your time and spec it right

It is much better looking than the E92!

The front bumper has really grown on me, really hope the F30 LCI get's the same/similar!

Sure it's only Audi drivers will be looking at the back of it and it doesn't matter what they think! Lol

Having driven the E92 approaching 8 years now its hard to move on.

Sometimes i catch the reflection in a window as im driving and the side profile of the E92 is just perfect.

I think the F32/F30 has suffered due to the BS EU laws with its front end. I mean who cares about a few pedestrians?

The E92 was unique in the range. it had its own design and now i feel they borrowed so much from the the F30 and 5/6 series its just another BMW in the range.

Im going to have to drive one soon and find out because that might sway me. If only the pricing was realistic. No way am i paying current pricing on a 6 pot one yet!

[Mr NSB]

I also think it looks over weight as well.

I like the look of the F32 and I also think the F30 and F31 are the best looking in their class.

What I read in this thread is almost exactly what users have said for each generation. We appear to polarise our views on new models.

The E46 coupe was the "perfect" 3-series a few years ago and the E92... what have BMW done? The back end was criticised for being out of proportion. Now it is looked back on as a well proportioned car, even elegant. It was either elegant from day one, or it is still butt ugly.

Most of the issues I feel are to do with us as humans, getting comfortable with something different. Shows even Bangle designs can be loved.

Try one, you know you really want to!

Personally I think it looks massive next to my old E92, loved that shape.

Its not a bad looker though, but very samey to the 3's as previously stated, unlike the E92.

[Steven1077]

It's almost the same size and a bit lower, and as for weight it actually weighs less, I think the E92 looks dated, and I've never really like it, I'd rather have an E90 given the choice of older BMW's, but I didn't like the E9* and would never have bought one

[SkyJawa]

That's an msport f32 and se e92, not really a true comparison....

[Tengocity]

IMHO the E92 is the best looking car BMW have made since the original 6 series!

Classy, simple, elegant, not over-designed like many are now. It looks great from every angle, the proportions are perfect. It doesn't look overly chunky or aggressive either.

Got a Santorini Blue E92 M3 in front of my desk and I have to say that from here...old skool rules.

i went into a stealer for an E90 16k budget.

I walked out with a 27k E92

Thats how much i loved the E92. I was 22 years old! I turned 30 yesterday

Every time i saw one driving down the motorway i used to think "damn thats a nice car.... wait shit thats mine!"

There are some nice features of the F32 which are more modern but i think they have dropped the ball in some areas.

I still think the Satnav on the F series is an abomination. There is no fixing that

16k never mind 27k is serious money at 22 to be spending on a car.

Yes i remember it well £580 per month on HP.

My car allowance back then was almost as good as it is now....

At least i own my car now no loan or pcp or hp. saves me a fortune in interest which i put towards the car.

When was the last time you looked at the A5 from the back?? That car twerks when noone's looking...

But yeah, personally hated the 3 series coupe, but the F32 is beautiful. Just not as beautiful as the F36 imo
