2005 3-Series: E90
- Thread starter ODDferkOUT
- Start date
That's what my first thoughts were too. I guess it didn't click in my head when I read this article back in April - probably cos I didn't own my E30 then - but it seems to have a slight Bangle influence in the amber turn indicators, but the profile of it - in the smaller pics - look like they keps the existing shape of the current 3-Se.
I have always enjoyed the way BMWs looked with a few personal exceptions of course. But with the 7 and the recent introduction of the new 5 and now this, I seriously am not happy. I am sure I will get used to the styling changes, however I really dont like the direction Bangle is taking BMW in. Between the model years '02 and '05 BMW will have redesigned every one of its cars, which is fine (every car company does it), but among BMW owners and enthusiasts how many of those models can you say you really love, enough to trade your own car for? Me personally none. I wouldnt trade my lemon of a car for any of the newly designed cars (except the 6 ![[:D]](/images/smilies/biggrin.png "Big Grin [:D]")
) I just think BMW needs to think a little more about their designs, and maybe create a little more diversity in their line so all of their cars dont look the same (i.e. new 7, new 5, new 3).

I think that it is fugly! Call me old fashioned or what not. So roughly in a year or two, we will have BMW 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 series![[confused]](/images/smilies/confused.png "Confused [confused]")
They are totally stepping in the wrong direction if you ask me. Bringing back the six isn't a bad idea. BECAUSE THERE WAS ONE TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!! Creating new cars like the 1,2,4 series is absolute madness. I think that I am going to have to save up and buy a porsche. It will be a while before they f*ck up the 911.

And what is up with those lights? ![[8]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_8ball.gif "Retarded [8]"){kind=icon}
It would have looked a little better with more of the '04 style.
I concur with most of you. I don't like the new 3 series look. First it's Z4, 
. When new 7 came out, it was okay that it looked like a whale because it was supposed to be big. But when new 5 came out, I was so dissapointed, especially with contrast to the new E class of Mercedes which actually looks sportier and better.
Now this new 3/4 look is actually not so surprising, with its side resembling Z4, front and back like 5, really nothing to praise about. This reminds me when new Audi A4 came out, it was pretty terrible too, but I thought maybe with time, I'll get used to the new styling. I have not. It's kind of comforting to see so many people agree with me because I'm not that old yet!
the only good German car left is Porsche, but way too pricy. I guess I'll keep my current car as long as possible or trade in for a 04 M3 before it runs out, or even get a Japanese car...
