3 Series (G20/G21/G28) [Official] BMW 3 Series (G20)

[advantage20]

BMW have been said to be going down the drain for as long as I can remember.

Which they are (in terms of style charisma and cohesiveness), and the fact that the average Joes don't care and still buy their cars doesn't change that.

All I ask is that LCI 3er retains its handsome, understated nature. And don't muck with the rear lights where if becomes needlessly fussy. Just no fuss all-around.

Well now it's almost certain that the 7er and X8 whose visual signature we're speculating about at length aren't even getting the not really corona rings but still kind of corona rings L-shape DRLs of the LCI 5er, no, they're probably directly jumping over to the next step of the icon demolition i.e. the iX style not at all corona rings reverse L-shape DRLs; the eye iris analogous corona rings at BMW are definitively going down the drain. Very disappointing.

Not a single detail there changed for the better.

They love ruining beautiful designs with overstyling the shit out of them.
Why have that gaping mouth look when the pre-LCI bumper looks already amazing.
And also what the hell are those DRL’s

 

[Serpens]

Yeah that looks worse, at least from these pictures.

If anything, I'd say it's cleaner than the current design.

The G20 looks so good and fresh that I cannot comprehend that it needs an LCI .... however I have no doubt that this will be a better looking car like every 3er LCI.

If it wasn't for the headlights id bet they were fake. Not for the design itself..but I mean, those prototypes are supposed to be very well kept away, were there's always some Bmw engineer or staff securing it. Not in some dirty Chinese shop with bumpers and headlights on the floor with some random person taking shit pictures of everything like they were sending to friends their new project car bumper and pieces just laying around.

Its not the first time, and but its getting worse..I thought by now Nina wasn't allowed on the shop anymore

So this render now goes from being an idea of the author to being the most feasible, will he have interpreted the detail by seeing the spy pics or how?

I presume this is the i3 scooped? Then like all the other i cars I expect all sensors and radars to be hidden within the grille like iX and i4.
it is intriguing to see your hidden secrets being uncovered in a shithole of a building.

The cup shaped corona rings have always been an analogy to the eye iris below the pupil. Flipped upside down (or rather downside up), they now look like eye sclera -- like a cat whose forehead skin you'd pull backwards to bare the whites of the eyeballs.

If this is M-Sport - which I suspect it is - then this is far nicer than the current G20's equivalent. F#ck - I don't have time to wait for the LCI.

Completely disagree -- I find the current M Sport front end absolutely perfect. The lines are harmonious (there is like a whole subtle grid of diagonals and horizontals matching each other); the overall design is still quite organic versus cold soulless machine (headlights and main intake look like actual eyes and mouth, muscular curves...); it has character and charisma but remains slightly understated; i.e. it looks like a classic feline BMW (E38, E39 and E46 also come to mind).

The LCI I think looks vulgar and simplistic as if carved with an an axe out of a block of wood in comparison.

Well, each to their own. I just see an overwrought design with too many unnecessary lines.

I think that looks fabtastic. Only if M3 had that face instead of the f#ck face it has now.
