Crap.. Prolly has Electric everything so you can't even tell you're driving, just like the f30.

Not to mention that thing looks massive.

It's clear to me that all BMW cares about is the bottom line these days and putting as much electronics as possible in there cars..

Have fun with those repair bills!

For me the nicest part of the F32 compared to the E92 is how much sleeker and more aggressive the roofline towards the back is where it meets the glass / the hoffmeister kink

Overall I like the look of the car. Just some random thoughts

I don't like the black front bumper bits, the black gill plate or the black side mirrors. They should be colour matched to the car. Using black for all colours reminds of car manufacturers that use the same black components on all of the different car colours for a particular model just for manufacturing and cost efficiency.

Iif the RWD automatic will do 0-100 in 5 seconds, the AWD should be less than 5 seconds if consistent with the e9X.

As a previous E92 owner - the E92 in Msport trim looks 10000x better to me based on the above comparison photos.

Hopefully the F32 looks better in person....

I disagree...I actually prefer the pre-LCI front headlights/bumper design much more.
Considering the new F32 will not even have LED taillights the pre-LCI E92 still looks great.

I personally feel the E46 coupe still looks awesome - every time I see a clean one on the road I cant stop looking.

The E46/E39 generation of cars were some of the greatest BMW designs.

I hate the shitty ass front bumper and side vents, why not make the m sport front bumper standard and just make the side vents look like the current m3.

The E92 remains one of the nicest looking card BMW ever made and still the 2012-13 had a hideous front bumper

Its funny to look at what all the haters of the F32 drive, you guessed it E92

car looks so much nicer than the E92, if only they would ditch the side vents, looks cheap and plastic in photos, maybe better in person?

Dude stop with the bull that everyone keeps repeating about the haters of the F32 are E92 owners, I drive an M3 and I don't really give a shit about this but I drove a regular E92 before and I loved it. I drove an F30 and I hated it.

I really like the new 4 series but there is something about the lights that I don't like. I feel like the tail lights and headlights of the e92 look more elegant. The ones on the 4 series look cheap. Other than that the car is beautiful!!! I'm loving that interior. My lease is over in september so I might be considering it as my next car.

That's my main concern with these new cars. That is why I got my last BMW as simple as possible MT, Harman Kardon sound system, Bluetooth. I didn't want any navigation or double clutch transmission it'll just be a headache in the long run. Electric things are always the first to start giving problems in cars and the more crap you put in your car the more chances something is going to break. It is only good to get all the options if you are only going to have the car under warranty. My 2006 325 has been running great the only problems I have had been electric like the radio and sensors going bad. Other than that it is currently 80k miles and no engine problems whatsoever (knock on wood).

Wow the E92 does actually look really good next to the F32.

Very impressed how well the E92 design holds up. F32 front has a little goofy look to it.

Not everyone drives an E92.

I dont' even own a BMW anymore. This car was on my list. Now going to wait for the M235i unveil.

flame suit on/

e92 is the worst 3 series ever.

it took the e36 and e46 design and made if feminine and non-driver oriented.

only good thing about the e92 was the motor which exists in the f30.

it was the only M3 without an inline 6. what gives? it was the first M3 to exist more in DCT than 6speed. to call an e92 m3 an M3 is like calling a cayenne a true porsche.

the f3X brought back the aggressive "forward leaning" BMW front end, and the driver oriented cockpit, which both existed in pretty much every bmw OTHER than the e92.

the "lines" of the e92 randomly exist and don't frame the car at all, or draw your eye through the design even remotely considering it's blatantly flat sides. with 1 randomly placed line which doesn't interact with the front end at all.

the e92 is the worst 3 series ever.

/flame suit off

the only ridiculously oddball item on the f32 is that vent on the front fender.

The E30 M3 didn't have an inline 6, and many people regard it as the ultimate driver's M3. That being said, I too prefer the E46 to the E92, though I don't dislike the E92 nearly as much as you do.
