Yeah the back reminds me of the current C class, the front is ok but I'm
not a fan of the one large intake under the kidneys

WOW! The new 3 looks beautiful! I don't like what they've done with the grill but otherwise, looks sharp!

I want those rims! :O

ORIGIN M. · 05-05-2011, 11:36 PM

Not bad, other than the non sport front bumper.

I think the Grill looks great too!

IancoleTX · 05-05-2011, 11:42 PM

Very interesting Odom, thanks for posting

jayely1 · 05-05-2011, 11:55 PM

asdfx · 05-06-2011, 12:27 AM

The boot slope is not as exagerated (a-la Merc-c-klasse) as depicted.. see spy below... ~Frost

Wolf · 05-06-2011, 03:59 AM

still better than the render that scott posted....

bavarian19 · 05-06-2011, 04:35 AM

like the rear, not the front. Hopefully an msport front will take care of that.

pyramid · 05-06-2011, 06:28 AM

C class back > agree, and it is a good thing. Actually, it is the best part of F30.

auggiem3 · 05-06-2011, 07:05 AM

The rear looks like a C class benz with that / slope below the decklid.

mhrir · 05-06-2011, 08:06 AM

That is an excellent Photoshop job.

DASHOCKER · 05-06-2011, 09:31 AM

I love the rear end. Not feeling the front at all.

I thought it might be because of the fold in the page, possibly flatten it out?

edit: should also add, straighten it out and I think you got one great looking car, like the wheels too

Kevin_russian · 05-06-2011, 12:31 PM

BMW "C" - class? Wtf?

ORIGIN M. · 05-06-2011, 01:48 PM

If you haven't noticed, MB has copied BMW body lines w/their C Class.

The way it slopes reminds of the the C-Class as well. But it looks decent.

back is too feminine for BMW, but will probably be quite popular

front looks quite good
