The more I see the new 3 back end the more it does look like a Honda/Toyota.

i hate to bitch like a broken record, but these flame-design (or whatever you call them) bimmers, ironically, with the exception of the 7-series, have just completely alienated me to the company, notwithstanding their superb driving dynamics which are still second to none.

that said, if I wanted a 7 Series-class vehicle, I'd take an S-class Benz.

*sigh*

The E46 was just SOOOOOO beautiful .......... so ....... BEE-EM-DOUBLE-YOU lol ........ why completely destroy the aesthetic DNA that's been slowly and beautifully evolving for so many generations??????????????

Looks really good.

The fenders are huge ! The front bumper has also been slightly retweaked (over the regular E92)...

The rear bumper looks more elongated and has sharper creases and angles. As does the trunklid (where it meets the rear bumper).

Small changes from the 'regular' coupe, but very worthwhile. We have a winner on our hands.

The spy pics are out. BMW will be doing a sedan, coupe & convertible for sure. The board is apparently still undecided on the M5 Touring as well as an M3 touring variant as-well.

An S-Class? *hurl* :P Ben'z have horrid reliability issues, never again will I set foot in one, sorry

The New M3 will just like the current gen BMW products be very color sensitive and take awhile to grow on you, which I don't think is a really bad thing, it doesn't get as old as fast if you ask me

I noticed the front spoiler looks like it may accomodate fog lights again. Currently, the new M5/M6 has huge brake duct vents instead of fog lights. Possibly this front spoiler will accomodate both brake duct vents & fog lamps.

I dont know why but the rear end on the # coupe reminds me of a toyota solara. I thinks its because its so high off the ground and has such a long rear over hang. Its very non BMW in my opinion. But none the less im still getting the M3 when it comes out.
