Look what BMW did to the 3 Series
Yeah in a shrinking market - BMW is making strides in garnering more market share. That takes alot of good things going your way - it goes beyond the bangled lines. It's a statement to own a BMW. One of the reasons I dont' own one LOL.

. 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.

i think the 3 series doesnt look as sporty as it did before, may be when it comes out in person, it might, but surely not in the pictures, but the interiors are gorgeous, must say better than the G...also the 330 is now going to be faster than the G, i think its like 5.6secs..I think Infiniti missed the spot by not making the refreshed version slightly faster than the current version and sticking up around this mark..

I saw one of those new 3 series about 2 months ago on rt 17 in nj..i tried to get my camera phone out but missed it...i didn't think they were even out yet, but it wasn't at all disguised and had regular plates on it.

I didn't like the new 3-series at first either, but the front and the sides have grown on me, the rear still looks hideous, though. It'll be interesting to see how the new 330Ci will look though. . . .
The 3-series has gotten much bigger and heavier in the last 2 generations. This one is no difference. Would I buy it? No, I believe there are better cars out there for the price you pay. I will not pay a $10,000 premium for Germany's Chevrolet.

If you subtract sales from their hot MINI segment, then overall BMW sales do not look so rosy...
Somehow the 3 series look better on magazine beauty shots, but the car looks horrible in those photos above. Maybe it's time for BMW to 're-release' the last gen BMWs and pretend none of these Bangle ever happened.
1 series = Mazda 3
3 series = Mini-7series with Galant rear
5 series = kabuki
6 series = shoe
7 series = rhino ***
X3 = shoe box
X5 = still looks alright
Z4 = not as bad as the others
It's amazing these cars still sell as well as they do. I laugh at the notion that people in America buy BMWs for the name - they are used as taxis and service cars in Europe with stripped interior. I wonder how the German cab drivers will cope with iDrive.
