Some interesting sightings yesterday and today. Enjoy.


Yesterday at a supermarket...

Today in a residential area. One pretty much uncamouflaged model and a handful of camouflaged models.

How does it look in the metal?

Very sharp. I like it. The uncamouflaged white one appears to have an M-Body Kit as well.

However the first thing you notice is that this 3er is about the size of an E60 5er: it’s huge!

I see some resemblance with the Lexus IS.

Nice. It’s a premium touch that even the plastic transmission tunnel surround matches the cream upholstery.

My type of spec.

I like the new 3 front styling with this white M sport pack and some lip spoilers, it looks crisp and modern, the lights shape and design looks much better than the 5 series. The new front grill with its thicker inner chrome bars looks very classy. It does look like a much bigger car and appears as big as a E39 5 series. Not really a compact executive anymore.

Thank you , appreciated your opinion.

Think it has the M performance kit.

I would take the G20 over the G30 any day, but I hope it will not hurt the sales of its bigger brother.

I’ll keep my eyes out for more 3ers and other BMW/MINI/Rolls Royce prototypes.

The interior of the 3er looked good, and high quality. Soon, I hope, I can check out the car in detail at BMW Welt, sit inside it and of course take more snapshots! I never really understood the hate BMW gets for having “cheap interiors.” In my opinion there is no such thing as a cheap interior in modern premium cars. They’re all well-made and they’re all class appropriate.

It's slightly smaller than E39 I believe. It's a big car compared to an E46.

Nice spotting Chris as always. Does anyone know what those blank plastic pads in the transmission area are for? are those for missing options on that car?
