If it's that sensitive, you may want to see a doctor. I think they have effective treatments for that now.

Also, look at the side windows. I can't tell that they've done anything different with them, other perhaps than putting different trim around the outside of them. That's not to say anything was wrong with them....they just don't look different.

I think the inside looks alright. But then what it looks like was never why I bought a 3er.

Bubbly rear bumper needs a diffuser- never really loved the base E92 (though I love my E92 M3)...and I don't really like this.

Not impressed. Nothing says sports car and class like fake side vents.

Amazing that the E92 still looks great and relevant after all these years!

I think I'll be skipping a gen. Stick w/ M3 or move to 991 S. Just don't like the front and looks less purposeful than E46 & in many ways prefer the E92 (maybe not the rear, but the front, yes).
Interior is nice, IMO.

I think youll have to see this in-person. All the measurements, longer, wider, lower only come out when looking at the rear end in the pics. I think it's going to be a looker like the 6 and 6gc and am pumped. Also, red looks awful, grey is much better.

Go ahead and edit your post to "functional side vents" and stop spreading incorrect information, at least read before making such a moronic comment.

Need to fix the lights to the grill, make it more like the 2 series. The body is a big improvement over the E92. Steering wheel needs to go, airbag should be round like in the e92. Door pockets stick out to far, whats up with that? Ditch the radio/cd/climate control, lower the air vents and mount the iDrive screen there. Who listens to cd's anymore, you have ipods and usb memory stick that hold way more music.

Need to move the power window controls back to the center console. On the door, they are in a awkward position to access. And they need to standardize the controls throughout the models and generations. I don't know how many times I've hit the decel cruise button only to turn down the volume and end up having to hit the brakes to slow down.

All in all, it is an improvement over the current 3 series coupe and I'm sure everyone will be trading in their old, outdated, lowly E92's for the latest and greatest.

Rear area looks good, the front... The droopy nose, the supposedly "functional" (yes, I've read BMW's propaganda) side vents, the huge blacked-out "intakes" around fog lights on the front bumper - BMW overdid the whole "aggressive" thing to the point of it being "comical". Like a parody on "sterotypical sports car". Kinda like what Lexus did with the front grilles on their latest models

Can't believe people are celebrating this car. When I looked at it, all I could think of was "Honda Civic." When I showed it to my fiance, without me saying anything, she immediately said, "It looks like a Honda."

The rear is not bad. The profile is ugly; the rear looks too thick and I hate the boomerang vent after the wheel well. But do not get me started on the front. The lower fascia is disgusting. Try holding your finger horizontally over a shot of the front end of the car so that it covers only the lower part of the front end. Notice how impressive the front end looks with the lower part covered. Now remove your finger. Disgusting, right?

No thanks to the 4 Series.

E9x on the other hand looks like the calm friend we always have, sometimes goes big but most the time, keeps a nice profile and most people like how he rolls. the e9x is a sleek "sunday cruiser" as you might call it whereas the F3x looks like its ready to beat the sorry asses of riced out cars

Was going to go from M3 to 435i

I was seriously considering getting a 435i after my M3's lease ends in December.

However, i just can't get over the new nose! Like the F30, the front hood appears to swell up and then suddenly slope/shrink downward and stretch out, with the nose looking like it's pinched from the top and bottom. I don't quite know how to describe it but it looks unnatural. The end of the nose is kind of like the Maserati Ghibli. Some may like it, but that style just isn't growing on me.

I believe it's due to pedestrian safety requirements - design basically follows purpose with the front ends of cars these days due to much stricter pedestrian safety laws.
