Real pictures of E90

Check out german car fans for the pictures of the new BMW 3 http://www.germancarfans.com/photos....1/size/regular
The interior, looks pretty good, and guess what they still have an I-Drive but only with navigation I think. I dont think babble fish will do the german conversion. But some german person can tell us what it means.

Looks like they played safe on the 3. I like it, it looks pretty clean.

The rear reminds me of the old Infinity G30. The front is as ugly as the other new BMWs. I think the W203 can stay on for another 3-4 yrs before getting the W204 out!!

It is the right forum, it goes with the saying "Keep your friends close your enemies closer" no clue who said it, maybe kirck may be me. just kidding.

The back of the car looks like a cheap korean car.

BMW take on I-Drive is funny, becuase they know it is hard but instead of making it easier they decide to put in on majority of their cars so consumers are forced to learn it, what BS.

The styling is alright, nothing too dramatic, surely they can't gamble with their best selling model.

M3 could be a cracker, I have read it has a 4L V8 with ~ 300kW and the CSL version should have ~320-330kW

I just got of the phone with BMW usa's CEO, he said he will try to fedex me the car tommorow. So I guess will post some new pictures of the BMW Civic DX.

I dont know if it is german I thought it was considering they normally release the information on the german/euro version first.

The least ugly of the new BMW designs. I almost like it. Looks aggressive from the front. Sides still have too much crap going on. Rear is fair. At least there isn't total discord among the various lines throughout the body like the 5, 7, and Z.
The infernal I-drive is spreading all over the BMW line, unfortunately. The new 2 series (think that's what the new tiny BMW model will be called) will likely be the only model spared.

It'll likely be optional on the 2-series, if it ever materializes, much as it is on the upcoming E90 3-series.

BMW sales are up, despite Bangle...

Bad news for those resenting Bangle's designs... I guess the number of first-time BMW buyers is far greater than the the number of those who went elsewhere...

don't know. in may bmw had introduced the Z4 but the not the new 5-series. also the best seller 3-series still looked normal then.

i would believe that people don't mind about the new bmw designs if bmw continues to sell more cars for the rest of the year.

Won't know this until all the "newness" has worn off. BMW is trying to use it's sales numbers to counter all the negative press about it's new vehicle designs, interior material quality, and I-drive. However, all of these sale numbers reflect new models across the line. The real test will be sales numbers within each model line in about 3 years.
I think by then you will see the real results of these new designs.

Agreed. Besides, new models from companies like BMW and MB will always sell well, no matter the price or the crappiness of the design, etc. Wait a few years to see the sales pace, relative to past models and relative to current competitors, as well as resale value, and you should have good indicators of the "success" of the car.
