BMW 435i Coupe (F32) Sport Line Prototype Bares Nearly All Ahead of Launch!

zackf80m · 06-03-2013, 04:01 AM

never loved the f30 design, then again never loved the e90 design either. Same goes for this new f32 design idk what BMW is doing but it looks terrible in my opinion.

Looks great, my deposit is in!

Prissy · 06-05-2013, 08:10 PM

The 2nd pic looks good!

infinitekidM2C · 06-05-2013, 08:10 PM

not feeling it right now....maybe it'll grow on me?

That bumper is awful. I'm sure just like the F30, the mtech/msport front bumper is going to drastically improve the look of the car.

Wow I was thinking while scrolling down that the front looks funny and the mirrors look really big and overall that...I DON'T LIKE IT. Then surprisingly saw my sentiments echoed by most people that replied.

I don't think its a E9X or 1er bashing thing. IMO I just think for the most part it looks weird. Will it grow on me? Perhaps...Maybe not...But let's see what the end result looks like.

pshh...people would still buy this(even me)just because it's bmw even thou they keep getting ugly one year after another.

i am not these "people" plenty of other cars out there

JRV · 06-05-2013, 08:41 PM

To me it looks like the E9X working through evolution. I also think these first year's base model cars are always toned down and dull. Maybe the LCI will resemble the concept more...idk. So far the base F32 is as plain and dull as is an E92 base, but it will grow on most of us and we may start to see its beauty. I still prefer the E46 M3 body over the E9X but I don't think the latter is ugly at all, just a different beauty.

+1

It just doesn't flow IMO.

For instance on the E92, I LOVE how the sideskirt has a slope to it, i.e. - it increases from front wheel to rear wheel slightly. The crease can be drawn across the rear wheel arch to meet the crease in the rear bumper. I love the fluidity of that, not to mention the slope in the side skirt crease gives the car a "raked" type of look.

The F32 side skirt crease is completely flat and lifeless.

Every 3 series generation should give you a WOW factor but not this generation...

Hell yea, the great thing about the Fxx - it makes the E92 cheaper to buy ;-)

I loved the concept and was very proud about it, but this is a shame.
The M-Version prob. looks better but hey... this is 2013!! Look out for Audi, they will make a big jump from design to badassdesign

Palle · 06-06-2013, 05:25 AM

i can't understand why many of you dislike the front.... from my point of view we can't see a Hugh difference between the concept and the production car .....

I love the new 4 series ...

Ugly whale

BMV///M3 · 06-06-2013, 10:48 AM

I'm sure it'll grow on people. For me personally it MUST have the M-Sport, non negotiable. I do not like front of the non M-sport F30 models at all, much to plain.

noro · 06-06-2013, 11:33 AM

I think I've seen this car before ...

... oh wait no it was this one..
