2012 BMW 3-Series Sedan (F30) dreamed up in Photoshop by France's Automobile Magazine

KL2DC · 03-19-2010, 11:57 AM

It's still just a guess. You have to look beyond the detailing and look at the proportions (which is most likely based on all those F30 mule sightings). However, it won't be a stretch to expect the F30 to take a lot of cues from the new 5 and 7 as BMW has adopted the same-sausage-different-lengths policy once more. A smaller and sportier version of the new 5er sounds about right! Should look great...

Looks like a Lancer/Accord

djvicious · 03-19-2010, 03:48 PM

wow really off IMO. BMW seems to be going for more safe and conservative designs looking at the 7 and the new 5. and i dont think they would ever do anything like this. plus it looks really bad

that is yuck

No, just no. Those LED strips are insulting too.

bavarian19 · 03-21-2010, 11:54 AM

i think not

V1.47fan · 03-21-2010, 02:55 PM

I like it,usually when you guys hate a design,it turns out great.hahaha

The E60,E63,E92 etc. weren't exactly well received at first...

Absolutely disgusting, it looks like a pissed off, miniature X6.

These conjectures of what the F30 is going to look like are getting pretty ridiculous.

I think BMW just needs to hire Jonsibal for its design and make everyone happy.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

nope.

JoeyO · 11-29-2012, 11:37 AM

That's what the F30 should have been.

F30's design looks like a step backwards from the E90. In twenty years time, ask somebody who doesn't know anything about BMW's to identify the older car and I bet they pick the F30. Rear/side panels are fine, but front end of the F30 looks totally out of place and very 1990's.

If the F30 looked like anything in the OP I probably wouldn't have got one.

I like how the new F30 look over E90.
E90 sedan is boring. Coupe looks good.
