You serious? I don't know if your joking or not, but I somehow doubt that this car has been unveiled anywhere

You can PM me to keep this thread clean. I'm quite partial to my ZHP, but I would consider selling to the right buyer for the right (fair) amount. I've driven to Chicago before (not in my ZHP) its not a terrible drive to or from Memphis...

Looks depressingly similar to the current boring model

benzo23 · 06-22-2010, 06:23 PM

(5th pic) Is the lowrider package standard on the f30 335?

Jblack4083 · 06-22-2010, 08:21 PM

It looks too big. The 3 series are becoming as big as the E34 lol.

One thing that looks like theyre about to do is that half hexagon shaped front end where it seems to get bigger toward the bottom going down from above the kidneys to the lower corners of the bumper.

dear BMW,

if you give the new 3 a big smiling mouth like mazda3, you lose.

Is that the battery under the hood, or diagnostic cables? Would have to be a much smaller (lighter) engine if they need the battery in the front.

BMW does conduct previews around this stage for its business partners (marketing, etc) as part of the process. I have no idea if the poster above was there, or if such an event has been conducted yet, but these events do occur.

OBI_agent · 06-24-2010, 06:54 AM

From the first pic, can anyone figure out what type of engine it has?? Inline 4 or inline 6....I cant see anything but I'm sure some engine guru can figure it out

dizzyj · 06-24-2010, 11:29 AM

so why 4 doors? thought there wasnt going to be a sedan?

Z22Z · 06-27-2010, 03:36 AM

Is it me or does the rear rim look like it's got a bigger diameter than the front one?

ss134 · 06-27-2010, 05:59 AM

I'll reserve judgement until the official pics come out.

Too early to tell anything but driving dymanics, which none of us will know. I can't wait to see it. I hope it doesn't look like the 5er.
