A bit too bland. It will blend in with all the other conservative sedans such as the Camry. If you like that kind of this I guess it's ok, but I think they should have gone with a sportier look.

I dont understand why BMW is screwing up a good thing with this horrible design. Changing a best selling 3 series to a whole new look is absolutely retarded if you ask me. The CEO needs to be fired and hire a whole new management team. Looks like a luxury hyundai with 12 in wheels for god sakes. Good job BMW

Car & Driver and Motor Trend love the new 3-series because BMW didn't "bangle" it up as badly as they did the 5 and 7 series.

I see a lot of the new 5 series on the road and the wheels usually look too small for the car.

BMW= overpriced, overrated, ugly!

That's mature. I like this new 3-series more than the new IS and the current G35 sedan. Should I leave too? oh, wait, I own a G35c, so I guess I can stay

. Grow up man, the new BMW design is very polarized and they create alot of emotion, good or bad. But at least they're not boring.

BMW is so generic and boring. Plus the I-Drive technology is a mess. Bimmer is the most overrated brand on the market.

lol... maybe it's because I see 7 series and 5 series every day that the Bangle look has grown on me... like coffee.

Bangle said other car designs are in a state of stagnant and he's trying to create a revolution to revive the industry. I believe he is right I have seen the huge trunk lip of the 7 series slowly creeping on to other car designs. And that grill... haha
I heard he's coming to work of Infiniti next ;-)
