I hadn't really thought about it until I saw the pics above, but if the pattern is to be believed, BMW make two model iterations that, by and large, look related, and then they change the overall design theme completely.

The mirrors are wrong. They sold ///M packages for coupes and convertibles that had cosmetic bits but were not true ///M. The flag mirrors on the non-///M cars are a dead give away. The ///M3 had aerodynamic oval mirrors. |

Yes. Whether or not there has been a conscious effort to do it that way or not, that is how it has gone. Some correctly predicted the largely evolutionary styling direction of the F3x before it was seen testing based on this pattern.

As i look at these, it seems that the evolution of the 3 series comes in pairs... so the next generation may be radically different that current.
E21 & E30 E36 & E46 E92 & F32

I like this. Amazing how much the E30 looks like the original (2002).
It would be cool to also include the 2002 as well as the pre and post LCI cars Would be cool to see the dashboard evo as waell. |

E46 FTW! Still looks classy and sporty. Perfect daily driver IMO for little cash.
