Headlamps, front bumper, and rims all look very similar to those on the new X3. Rest of the car is very reminiscent of the E65 7 & E 60 5.
I saw a heavily masked prototype in a magazine last week, said the car is going to be the E90 platform. What are all of the models between 65 and 90? I remember when the cars were E36, E38, and E39. Or are the numbers non-sequential.

I don't know guys, Am I the only one feeling it. I've had an e30, e36 and an e46. I've been looking at the new 5, but it goes from outstanding to frumpy just moving a few feet. I think I will wait for the new GS before making a move.

In my opinion their design from previous years was perfect. There was nothing wrong with it.

The new BMW's are not doing it for me anymore.

It looks a lot like Audi. I kinda like it better then 5 or 7 series. Still not my style though. Too small.

But then, under a closer look... the picture SCREAMS Audi.. That's a shame... Nothing like blending in.

Agree with the Audi comments, but there is no more hope for BMW. Their last good looking model is soon to be gone. The deal on the 4 series (if anyone was wondering) is that all 3 series coupes and verts are gonna be dubbed the 4 series so new M3 will actually be an M4. Also, a new 1 series is gonna be out. Looks like a little Z4 so that means 1,3,4,5,6,7 series within 3-4 years.

Re: New BMW 3-Series
this is comming from bmw diehard fan. dont get me wrong i love my IS its just that relibility is extreamly important to me right now. Quality control for US bmw units is some how complitely different form units sold in europe. between all my friends in europe they own almost full line up and none of them have/had problems like bmw owners have here.
