Preview of the rear, from one of our recent renders:
For reference, the render was based off this real life spy photo:

Most likely will. Porsche is resorting to giving the next gen 911 electric steering as well.

I think the car is catching air? Not body roll. The area looks quite flat where that photo is being taken from....I makes it look like it has the equivalent of a 1995 Honda Accord with that much body roll it can't be true.

The F30 corners plenty well. Upcoming video will show this.

Looks nice but I have an E90 in good shape, so am not sure that the "difference" is enough to make me want to run down to my dealer to order one - at least not right away. Maybe after the first refresh.

I hated the LED lights in the mirrors, but they look classy and nicely integrated.

I tend to agree that the f30 3er looks a bit boring at the moment, but f10 is all but boring. Without any hesitation the best looking 5-series ever. I'm sure this will be also when they take off the camo etc

??? the 335i has been around for years now so why would they use the same engine and go backwards? The 328 is the one that makes no sense to me. Should be different without the I6.

Dont be mad about the system
Boost is boost, how much boost is a different story. I agree, most of the new vehicles w/ electric steering boost have too much assistance for me. Let's hope it gets dialed down for the 3.
I do believe the new steering feel along with the new design on X3, 5 Series have contributed to a big sales boost from other premium brands. I would like to see an adjustability like the suspension will be (see interior photo on the manual). |

You are looking in 2d
The center of the bumper cover is not how it will look from standing parallel to the side mirror. Will have a very short overhang.

Even under all the camo, you can tell the styling is going to be something really special. I honestly can't wait

If the rendering turns out to be a true illustration, the rear of the new 3 series won't be much different than the current one. On the other hand, even with the camo the front seems to resemble the F10. Nonetheless, F30 will definitely be more applauded than F20.
