The rear end looks like a Subaru. Should be a nice ride though.

That rear end doesn't look appealing to me, but still better than that of the 3 series sedan though . . .

Hmmm...thats interesting. Wouldnt have thought they would move the license plate frame from the trunk to the bumper. Doesnt look to good in that position. Im sure the actual car will be different than this though. Looks like nice photoshops.

Um, it doesn't look differentiated enough from the 3-series enough to me.

That's photoshop for sure and it's ugly as hell. The mules look so much better than this.

Yes the english registrated car is a photoshop for sure. But the front page with german licence plates ? It looks very real to me and nobody has claimed that picture to be false, only the "english" pictures inside the magazine.

0-62mph 4.9 secs... that's not impressive enough for me to accept Bangle design...
