let's see who gets this first

 

[Merc1]

I just can't wait for the complete roll out, coupe, convertible, M etc. Going to be some hot cars...


M

 

[HighestOfHigh]

The C and 3 look better in those photos IMO.


M

I agree! The side profile looks great on the 3.

 

[EL1942]

Lovely!

BMW's wheels are back to their best with these and the M-pack ones.

 

[martinbo]

What a nose!

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Just out of curiosity, have we seen any photos of the new 3er with lights ablaze at night?

 

[klier]

...but not the rear bulb lights please

Wow, never mind it looks like a 5er, it looks flippin HOOTTT.

 

[klier]

Yeah, it looks really good. That is a Luxury line, btw

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Wow... even with the dodgy lighting and quick-snap photos, that Luxury Line 3er looks gorgeous! It retains its sporty edge with that aggressive stance and focused facial expression, but the touches of chrome trim coupled with those classic wheels gives it that luxury feel.

That exposed grille definitely adds an extra bit of premium styling.

I don't think I've seen a configuration of the 5er which exudes this level of luxury.

All "Forum Politics" aside, and making a genuine statement.... I guess it's just that I'm not really a 3-Series enthusiast, but in those pictures the car looks good, but rather un-defined and plane Jane. I seriously can't grasp the incredible enthusiasm directed toward it with the replies to those particular IRL pics.

I guess I just don't "get it", lol.

 

[Top Secret]

The exposed grille is the most inspired piece of design I've seen from BMW for a long, long time.

Not sure if I like it. I usually don't like making judgments until I see it in the flesh. Hopefully it'll grow on me. In general, I just don't like the road BMW is headed down.

 

[klier]

And what road would that be for the 3er? I see nothing but good things so far quite honestly....

Yes! I like it a lot. More than the 5er design.

The back, though similar for a layman, is much better in particular. 3er solves the problems I have with the 5er. Slightly different lines and different proportions just make it work better to me!

 

[K-A]

Lol, I seriously thought this was the F10 Picture Thread when I browsed over the first 2 pics.

I actually like the rear angles a lot more than the front, I just can't jive with the fronts juxtaposition with the sides.

The rear is slightly more angular than the F10's, I guess you can say the rear 3/4 view is a little more aggressive, when you really pay attention and analyze. I think the F10's rear is prettier though, as the rounded look of it looks a bit sexier than the squared off 3's (more utilitarian approach when matched with this design language).

What does this mean???
