Is This the New 2012/13 E93, E90 and E91

E92BSM10 · 06-01-2010, 12:01 PM

if it is do you like it or not? Personally I don't like it, I dont like bmws new style grilles they are too big and take over the whole front of the car like the 7 series and the new 5

what's your opinion?

briers · 06-01-2010, 12:09 PM

Not keen myself either, looks like a jap car with some more "design lines"

Ironically, looks like it's had a facelift, literally.

The headlight casings are looking more like teardrops, slipping up the bonnet and the grills are getting too big plus i'm not keen on the chrome bar running along just above the front splitter, i liked the angular bumper of the past. I've seen some new 5 series around and the grills do look far too big. But i'm sure it will grow on me. Same with the new z4. I think the old design was timeless but this new one just doesn't look as good.

New car not due till 2013

ghosty · 06-01-2010, 12:32 PM

whys the fonz driving around in a beemer??

acerboo · 06-01-2010, 01:47 PM

like current e92 its classic

zltm089 · 06-01-2010, 06:30 PM

wow!!!!!!!!...i like it!!!...the e93 looks good!...the bonnet an dthe silver fins...

mjh93sa · 06-01-2010, 08:06 PM

hmmm, just a take on the new 5 series scaled to be a 3. Though I have to say the Touring looks good, even if the lower portion of the bumper is pure pre-LCI E92.

tony20009 · 06-01-2010, 10:31 PM

It isn't different enough -- or distasteful enough -- that, liking the way it drives, I'd have any issues with buying it. That said, I think the new F10 is very nice looking...best looking 4-door car I've seen in ages.

e92/93 looks great, not the other too, e90/91. Just the same as now then!

Hairyarse · 06-02-2010, 05:32 PM

Could be a 'grower' - hope so

I don't agree with that, I think the E46 is still better in coupe form than the E92 and I the E90 lci is the first BMW 3 series saloon I have ever liked design wise.

There was a black 335i lci touring outside mine the other day and it looked stunning, I can see these looking good in the right colour and with the right wheels on them too.

i like the coupe and touring, not keen on the saloon but saying that its a crap pic. i think the face lift saloon looks stunning, it should of been like this from the start.

i think all new bmw's have lost some edge though, they either have gone all softly softly or completely the oposite like the x6, mad and on steroids!

Looks photoshoppped to me..

jinjur · 06-03-2010, 08:34 AM

Agreed.

There's just something funny with the proportions or perspective of the "new" front....

Can put my finger on it.

I call bull.

jinjur · 06-03-2010, 08:38 AM

And usually to perfection...

...thats just not.

And we usually get an eyeful of new wheels etc when they do that.....not existing M3 rimzors.

Headlights are exactly the same and there's an identical shine on the grill..
