Press release says they will offer leather interior options too.

I keep looking at the line in the hood. It really irritates me.

Well said. I completely agree with every point. Overall, the F30 is a big disappointment, especially the interior. I keep looking at the dash and thinking "civic". It's so below the design and quality of the 5.

Light beige steering wheel and seat belts?
The mid-90's Mercury Marquis look aside, those should stay looking nice and clean for a good solid month. The new gauge cluster is put to shame by a mid-level Hyundai and the different font/dial graphics for different trim levels is just plain stupid. I also like how the door pulls and map pockets seem now to bulge out into the cabin making for even less room and comfort. Last edited by ihavedrivenanm1; 10-15-2011 at 01:18 AM.. |

I think the F30 models should have ZERO badges on them and the M3 should have one on the trunk, one on each rim, one on the engine, and one the steering wheel. That's it. |

Damn... is BMW ashamed of their cupholders lol...
Overall I like everything! I think the exposed grill will go the way of the mustache grill in the pre-LCI e90, aka it will be removed after the refresh. Not sure what to think about the steering wheel in the MSport... it's decidedly... unique... I guess this is what we get after too many people complained that the e90 was as boring as a bucket of wallpaper paste, so BMW decided to be more daring with certain design elements (trim options, etc.) while retaining the safety net of what they know works well (rear lifted from the 5 series). Should be interesting to see what it looks like in person, as the super-photoshopped pictures BMW always release never really make the cars look good, or accurately portray them. |

Not a bad looking car, but what is with the 1 series dashboard? BMW did a complete copy and paste there
I think I am going to stick with my e92 for a while, unless this car looks absolutely fantastic in person, which it may. I doubt I will ever dig that interior though, might as well be driving a 1er. |

M-sport front looks great, not so sure about the rear.

The side badges are ridiculous and frankly a little douchey. I don't want a badge that says luxury on the side. Those will have to be removed.

Adrian van Hooydonk and the BMW management, please wake up. You are churning out one design disaster after another. The new 1 series and now the 3 series. Toyota classifies their cars in terms of Luxury, Sport, and whatever else.
Personally, I can't see myself in a car with badges like "Luxury", "Sport" or "Modern". Even Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, Jaguar or Aston Martin don't water down their cars like this. They let the badge do the talking. When I'm driving a BMW, it implies I am driving a car that is sporty, luxurious and modern. Please give me back a car like the E46/E92 M3. Now that was a BMW! Hardcore and without pretense. |

Interior = Win. Apart from the colour coded strips.
Exterior = Much better than E90. Rear too similar to 5 series though and not a fan of the way the kidney grilles stick out. Also, it looks like they just stretched the headlights for the sake of it because the inner part is actually empty. The range = I understand having a sport option and luxury option because that's what the C-class has. However, Mercedes have executed it better. The luxury one has the classic MB grille and the sport has grille + bodykit. As far as I can tell BMW have just stuck on some SLIGHTLY different bumpers, badges and little chrome accents. WTF? Also, why a sport model AND M-sport?
