Autocar new pics of 3 series F30

Gibbo · 05-15-2011, 03:46 PM

Just found these pics on Autocar tonight. Looks like the car has grown in size again over the current 3er. Hard to tell what it looks like from these pics but I am sure the coupe in M sport trim will look fantastic.

hmm, so F30 this year?

Sportplus · 05-15-2011, 06:31 PM

Looks like a smaller 5 series, Hope they don't keep the indicators on the wing mirrors

But they'll have to be going some to beat the E92 coupe.............

I'm going to put a deposit down on the 1.5 litre three cyclinder model.

Hmmm - seen other shots that look much nicer than that.

I can't, how you can pass comment on it; after all, it’s disguised for a reason.

Are you not aware of the "squinty eyes disguise removal" technique then?

dirtydarthdub · 05-16-2011, 05:39 AM

Obviously still disguised but I'm not too worried about the changes on the outside - are the rear lights there still the LCI ones from the current car? I'm placing a company car order and the only thing that bothers me with the new one coming out is that I'm going to be jealous of the new interior. The new 5 has a great interior and the specs on the 520dSE compared to a similar 3 are way higher (heated leather, iDrive screen as standard etc), has anyone seen any interior pics of the new 3? I'm going for a 320d M Sport Plus so am quite happy that the new car won't be that much better looking on the outside, but the interior is pretty dull on the current car imo of course.

Think that you will find that it is the new 4 series coming out soon

carbonSI · 05-16-2011, 03:54 PM

Lmao!! that just looks like a longer E90...

I'm sure the coupe version will look stunning to be fair..
