New 2012 BMW F30 / F32 3-series Coupe and Sedan Renders

d3l0n · 11-23-2010, 07:20 PM

wow f10 looks nice as a coupe

Frosty · 11-23-2010, 07:23 PM

Thanks Scott.... it will be interesting to see how the new trademark side sculpting (6er) will play in a smaller size F32 in particular! ~Frost

The typical design feature of the slash in the lower flanks is placed in the middle of the car with the bow and stern being evident before the wheel arches. Enhancing the broadness of the car from both the front and rear.

The headlights are like todays car - faired in to the corner with the light cover flicking up at the kidney grille. Indicators now join the car underneath the headlights like the 6er. A wide mouth but shallower than the sedan represents the lower intake. With 6er style LED's placed at the top of each corner.

The new 3er Coupe aims to bring a continuity from the 6er and is a significant part of BMW's Premium Entry strategy.

The coupe render looks damn good already

keanu1 · 11-23-2010, 07:30 PM

the first render looks nice!! That's how next gen should look like!!

sequal · 11-23-2010, 07:38 PM

wow lookin good

MetsFan · 11-23-2010, 07:43 PM

Those sedan pics remind me of a Ford Fusion

Yvette · 11-23-2010, 07:47 PM

love the coupe rendering

Nikki · 11-23-2010, 07:51 PM

Looking good! Especially liking the coupe. Can't wait to see more.

MikesBMW · 11-23-2010, 07:58 PM

OH MAN, I want one so bad, I dont think I can wait 2 years tho!

x5m power · 11-23-2010, 08:05 PM

I hope bmw comes out with some better colors like the new pics of the f10 showed

Deltari09 · 11-23-2010, 08:05 PM

the connection between the grille panel and the headlamps is not very nice...the intense forward-angle is too much for me >

positiveions · 11-23-2010, 08:10 PM

I don't like the new 6 series, and I sure hope the new coupe is not going to have similar designing lines.

JulieDriving · 11-23-2010, 08:16 PM

I'm definitely not a fan of the new 'shark face' noses of the newer BMWs, but I guess I have no choice...

Maybe I'll get more used to it in time......

serali · 11-23-2010, 08:20 PM

Based on 5 and 6, this could be exactly what this is

1013mm · 11-23-2010, 08:24 PM

amazing . makes me want one. i can only image what the m3 will look like!!

IancoleTX · 11-23-2010, 08:24 PM

Nice renders. I would absolutely buy that coupe.

M sport SEDAN FTMFW!

pokerface · 11-23-2010, 08:37 PM

the sedan's bumper makes it looks like it has the case of swollen chipmunk cheeks.

overall i think both look pretty decent..

sashimi01 · 11-23-2010, 08:42 PM

Both sedan and coupe is very nice. Like it already.

IshouldBEworking... · 11-23-2010, 08:47 PM

I really like the coupe, it does remind me of the new 6er. The 3 series is such a great car, I've leased a 328i for the last three years and loved it even though I wasn't crazy about the looks. I hand that car back to the dealer next week and I'm kind of sad to see it go! I'm sure I'll get over it, I'm picking up my 335is on Dec. 6th in Spartenburg, SC at the Performance Center. Goes to show that crappy cup holders and a 'cold' interior don't really matter when you have so much fun driving the car!

Cygnusx1 · 11-23-2010, 08:48 PM

Too much "mustache space" under the kidneys. Picture it without the plate...it would look like Tom Selleck without a stash.

Grail05 · 11-23-2010, 09:17 PM

Hahaha i remembered when the e92 came out....

To be honest the new i love the new body style even the sedan. They both look sexy... Cant wait for the new one hoping to upgrade
