Yeah... I must say, there are certain angles that I think look quite nice... on the other hand, there are others that dont... for example.. in the images section... I think the last image is taken from the rear drivers side... for some reason Im not digging it from that angle... Maybe its just the lighting.

i hate the current 3 series interior and it looks like i'm going to hate this one too
the styling looks a bit more aggresive though

BMW has combined luxury and performance very nicely, I M O.

I'm not to excited over the looks of the new 3 series or E90 M3, but I'm impatiently waiting on the 4.0 400 horse V8

As for the new 5 series sales are down 17%, and 15% for the 7 series... However, what I've heard from owners the handling and overall build quality is awesome.

my biggest gripe w/the interior is it is no longer driver oriented(in any bmw now), take a look @ any bmw from the 90's & the controls are nicely slanted towards the driver, for a nice enclosed cockpit feel- that has since been lost sadly(which is again my one problem with the otherwise fantastic z4 interior...)

at least the e90 looks alot better than the new 7
if nothing else at least the performance continues to increase, 255 hp 3.0 is enticing, and a 215 hp base 2.5 should be more than adequate(though it will likely lack torque)

Here's a pic of my interior. 2004 M3 SMG

Everything is right where it should be IMO. Very simple, not cluttered. "Appealing".

As far as driver oriented, probably not as exciting to rally as an EVO or STi, but still the M3 rails.
