F30 with C class back, not bad at all
Since I also drives BMW beside MB, bimmerpost.com is of my interest as well.
Came across this upcoming F30 (rendered, but should be 95+% close), the c class rear is not bad at all. What do you guys think?

Not too shabby. But with the recent styling direction BMW is heading. Why would anyone get a 7-series or 5 series when a 3-series for 1/3 the price would look almost EXACLTY the same to 90% of the world (people who don't know much about cars)... I like the rear-end quite a bit - but too boxy/"turtlish" in the rear bumper if it does end up like that. The front is simply not my cup of tea. I wonder what the interior looks like though, that has long been my bone of contention as it looks so bland and boring IMO.

I just can't get into BMW as a brand , I view then more like an appliance than a car . Had to use my cousins 3 series yesterday to get around as my car is still in the shop and I felt line I was driving a washing machine with wheels . I do like the 1 series though .

I seriously don't mind driving one of these. But like hitokiri said, I prefer the way our car ride over the Bmw 3 series. Test drove one a few days ago and I never regretted going with the C.

Starting from the F10, how BMW rides become more like Mercedes. Most of bmw users complaining why it doesn't feel the same (hard suspension and very connected to the road), while I find it "just nice". I had an e90 before and I replace it with the C for the exact same reason.

The fronts on all levels of sedans look identical! I'd call myself a car guy, and find it hard to tell which is which. Not only that but the front face (not to offend anyone) looks a bit.. 'downs-y'

They need to bring back the e46 designer for the 1/3 series, e39 designer for the 5/7 series. because those were the best looking bmw's by far. The new 3's look almost like an m3 and the 5's look like 7's.
