You need to post something :-)

Thing I doubt about this article is 4 bangers only. I can see 4s being offered in the lineup but they will also offer 6s IMO. 4 turbo maybe puts out 250HP and 6 turbo 350 HP.

The next gen 1 would offer a non-turbo 4 and turbo 4. Same goes for the new Z2 roadster.

Also diesel 4s in the mix for 1s and 3s.

Nice pics though Inside Line.

It says the 3 series is going to a turbo charged 4 cylinder:

"2013 3 Series' models are expected to be powered by smaller turbocharged four-cylinder engines in place of the current six-cylinder power plants, which will first debut in the 2011 BMW 1 Series. The exception will be the future BMW M3, which will trade in its V8 for a twin-turbocharged six and electric hybrid drive."

I see you didn't post the hideous side picture.

Side picture? I certainly hope the whole shoot here is just a bad photoshop play!

I like the idea of 4 bangers though. Should keep weight down a good bit. I think cars have gotten fast enough for most average drivers....

that picture of the front is insane. Needs alot of polishing off but I think that's a great step if you're going for that more aggressive styling that companies are throwing out there.

back is pretty decent, not feeling the front or the proportions of the photoshop though

You'll get a lot of carbon deposits on the bumper.

I just don't like the idea of driving a 4 cyclinder car that costs 50 K

Something about feel and personal status too...4 cyl is for economy.

I personally like V8 power, hence the 335

The headlight lenses look too small, almost looks like they impead the lighting area. I also don't understand what clearly looks like a reduction window size maybe resulting in more blind spots.

Tough to say with the engine choices for the US as we get a tiny fractions of the engines offered in the world, look at the BMW UK website, theres about 30 different models of 3-series you can start with. Based on past history the US market does get the more powerful engines, and the rest of the world gets a choice of the top and lower engines. I don't like the front, a little too outlandish for me.

Looks like they're taking some pointers from Nissan...anyone who's driven a Rogue or Murano know what I'm talking about...IMHO it is by far the most difficult vehicle to see in with it's miniscule rear/side windows.

Appeal-o-meter is very low so far.

Either a F10 or I'll look elsewhere.

The rear looks good, more aggressive than the current line up but the front? WTF?

If I wanted a Mazda, I would just buy one.
