I would agree that it's the best Bangle Bimmer yet, but I still think the design is fussy in many respects. Also, there is just no way to make that cut-line for the trunk look good. It was a bad idea on the 7, 5, and 6, and it is still a bad idea on the 4. It just doesn't flow, and it makes the trunk look tacked-on. I also hope they improve the interior design over the 7 and 5. I recently sat in an '04 7 and an '04 5 and hated the interiors. Very cold. By contrast, the interior on the new A8 was beautiful, and the Range Rover's interior was amazing too. I just don't think there is anything to get excited about with the new Bimmers. And, for their prices, you gotta be excited. They are just too cold, technical, and dorky.

That's probably one of his better designs.... and alas, this thing is probably the 3 series replacement.

But like his other designs, it looks pretty good from the 3/4's view, but from the side... ick.

Here's the deal - the 3 series, 5 series, and 7 series all have 4 doors.

From now on, their 2-door counterparts will be the 4 series, 6 series, and 8 series, respectively.

Thus, the Z3 designation was abandoned for Z4.

I like it better than the 6 series

Crap... that means this thing IS the replacement 2-door for the 3 series XXXic cars. I think BMW is nuts. The current 3 series is a classic, hot looking car. It needed updating, not a complete redesign. The redesign for the 4-door can't be far off now, which means the complete Bangle-fication of BMW will have been completed.

Looks nice except for the Volvo rear.

least-worst bangle BMW yet.

I like it. Of course I want to know what sort of power it will have before I'll know if I really like it (and price).

Whatever happened to this? the next 3 series shots?
