Every time BMW bring out a new 3 or 5 series people always say ' oh they have got it wrong this time'

I will always say to those people 'just wait'

Early E30's dont look great in my books :bolt: but the later one's are great!
Early E36 :puke: again by the end they looked nice
Early E46 again didnt look amazing but by the end looked nice
the E90 looked junk then they brought the E92 out which looked better and the by the time the tweaks wered done.... again it looked sweet and even the E90 is looking good now

To all the doubters just keep the faith and dont buy an early model BMW!!

However i do have my doubts on this occasion seeing as Chris Bangle has left. but lets just see. i hop im suprised as i usually am.

To be brutally honest that look like a 5 series crossed with a X6 at the moment. im sure it will turn out of. :bla:

I think it looks ok for a modern car,and you can bet it'll be better than at least 95% of other new cars...but it aint no '30,and I guess it's not trying to be.

Ollie...aerodynamics is why you'll never see the return of quad lamps in anything but mega-bucks exotica...sorry to break it to ya like this :roll:

A new M3? The mind boggles! It'll be up against all that Audi and Merc can throw at it,so it had better be good!
