Re: Next generation 3-series rendering from AZ

^That looks even older than the current model

That's cuz it was rendered before the e90 3er to show what the e90 3er might be.

Looks fantastic but too large to be a 3er to these eyes, more like an F10.

Spy shot of chassis mule reveals larger dimensions for next generation.

That is a photoshopped manipulated CS Concept.
The first model to use the widened 3er platform will be the first model the Progressive Activity Coupe .

Re: 2012 BMW (F35) 3 Series (Spy shots, Impressions & Info)

Yes, it's a mule testing F35 platform --- chassis only. Quite widened, and the WB is just a tad longer as well.

Still quite some time away before the 3er prototypes with original (yet heavy camoed) body hit the roads.

Expect 6er coupe, 1er hatch, baby-PAS (PAC), first mules for project-i to be in the streets before the 3er. Project - i cars will be tested for a looooong period. I guess initially some MINI mules will be used, or even car body borrowed from some rival.

Btw, What´s up with E92 FL?, I think this car is starting to need some new touches.

 

[bmwownage]

Re: 2012 BMW (F35) 3 Series (Spy shots, Impressions & Info)

Yes I'm really eager on the E92/93 FL, I really really want to know whether they will change that fantastic front end at all, and if so, how they can improve something so perfect. The rear do need improvements though.
F35 - way to far away, we have no idea before we get more exact ideas with the F10 and other new models. I just dont' think, as a 3series, it will be as radical as the CGIs.

Thats not the next 3-series, is it?

Re: 2012 BMW (F35) 3 Series (Spy shots, Impressions & Info)

??? Isn't it too early for such soft camo ? Besides the headlights shape is very X1ish.

Re: 2012 BMW (F35) 3 Series (Spy shots, Impressions & Info)

It looks like a current 3er with the new car´s front end. Do I see 7er like front lights?.

 

[EnI]

Re: 2012 BMW (F35) 3 Series (Spy shots, Impressions & Info)

It looks like a current 3er with the new car´s front end.

Indeed.
It's current 3er with X1 front end.

We had seen such mules before. Remember?

(Btw, MA are wrong on V3 ... )

Then I´m happy with what you are saying. I really hope BMW don´t paste the F01-like front end on the next 3er. I´m looking forwars to see the proportions of the new 3er, the worst part of the current model.

Re: 2012 BMW (F35) 3 Series (Spy shots, Impressions & Info)

It's the new F5

Re: 2012 BMW (F35) 3 Series (Spy shots, Impressions & Info)

BTW EnI, Do you know if there is going to be a FL for the E92? I think it looks a bit dates now compared to the sedan.

 

[bmer]

Re: 2012 BMW (F35) 3 Series (Spy shots, Impressions & Info)

It's the new F5

Nope, it's not the PAS (F5):

That is not the PAS. PAS is much wider and does not fit onto the front of a 3er. That looks like one of the previous 3er Touring mules which had X1 facias attached to the front of the car. If you match up disguised pictures of the X1 you can see simularities. Also you can see the two cutouts on the camo for the X1 foglights.

Infact , yes a registration tells me it is fact testing X1 platform.

[BimmerToday]

Can someone confirm the name of the new 3-series? Is it F30 or F35? Ask two different persons and you get 2 different answers...

Can someone post a list like this:
F3x - 3er Sedan
F3y - 3er Touring
F3z - 3er GT
F3a - 3er Coupé
F3b - 3er Convertible?

Scott? Eni?
Thanks!

^ Interesting question.

Because of the number of derivatives I would expect BMW to go with the familiar sequencing of numbers ending in zero (0) for sedans, 1 for Touring, 2 for Coupe and so on...

What's F20-series reserved for and why F30 for 3er?
