Default BMW 3-series Sport

Seems like they're testing a 3-series with a more aggressive front fascia,Could this be the next Sport version?




Also found this,it's outside the BMW facility,possible M3?

I like it. I don't like the new 3 look in general, but this subtle kit does give a proper sporty appearance to it.

Thanks for ruining the new 3 for me! The resemblance is strange!

Could be the rumored turbo 3 series. It is a twin turbo inline 6 to be priced and perform between the 330 and new v-8 M3. It is supposed to put out around 300-320 hp.

Search for "BMW 335i" and you'll find many.

If it looked like a refreshed M3 with that kind of power, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but not that thing. I just wonder if anyone else has noticed the Cartman-*** yet? Not one of BMW's greatest ideas...but neither was that whole shark design on all their cars. I just wonder when they change it, what animal/cartoon character it would resemble next.
