Unhappy E90 Pictures

If this is indeed a leaked brochure (it's quite an elaborate hoax if it isn't) - below you will find some linked pictures for convenience (in case you don't have PDF viewer).

The damage doesn't look to be as bad as it could have been (re: the 5 series) ... but I still think that the current car betters the new one.

I guess my biggest problem with the car is the overblown crease down the side ... you could wedge tacos in there I bet.











We'll see how it sells, I guess.

Yeah I saw that leaked on:

http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68340

It funny to read those threads, some hate it & some like it.

I have a 99 E46 original owner still. There is something about how that car drives that has made me kept it. I like how they now have rear A/C vents for the rear passengers that's nice & according to the bimmerfest forum someone who read the brochure looks like I-Drive is Optional. That is good.

I still think my body style is more appealing & more like a BMW. But I can't wait to see this in person.

I'm suprised this got leaked out, car companies are sooo tight with new models until they are officially released.

It also looks like it will have a Start/Stop Button just like on the upcoming new Lexus GS, is this the new wave of the future, keyless ignitions?

The current Bimmers look much better.

I am curious how well these new Bimmer models will sell.

Terrible. A complete disaster. But...people will still buy it because, well, it's a BMW.

with the new series of inline 6's the cars performance should be excelent. Maybe that will help owners get over the looks. Its ok I guess, but its horrible compared to the current ones. My mother drives one and I wouldnt give it up for that thing. Its ok, I wouldnt buy one myself.

I think it looks nice except for that middle lump on the dash board. From thfront view it looks nice, but the side view of the interior looks horrible w/ that center lump!

That is really bad. The current M3 is one of the best looking vehicles on the road. That new one sure won't be. Hyundai's even doing better designs.
