What do you guy think of it? BMW was going downhill...still think so? or not?


3/4 series-LOVE the curved line on the lower panel!!! Finally! A BMW design to get excited about again!

I was starting to lose hope...I'm encouraged again!!!!

The launch for the 3/4 series will be in 2005 at the Frankfurt auto show.

Can't wait to try the (270HP) 335i. And the 400HP M4 when it arrives in 2007.

I love it, people just need to get used to the new look, I think everyone will start to appreciate in time.

Looks an awful lot like the Skyline Coupe (AKA G35 Coupe)... I like it though!

Looks ok, but that curve in the lower body panel is going to catch all the crap thrown up by the wheels, won't take long for that to get sandblasted.

the only problem is that the old 7 series, 5 series, and soo far current 3 series is that they are a really really good design. The new designs are good too, but they are not AS good as the previous.....

and they seem to be a drastic step in a new direction too. usually a company takes a few generations to get to a totally different car, rather than none...

It's really not too many cars, they're not really different. 4-door= odd # series, 2 door = even #.

It is going to be pretty tough to beat out the current generation E46.

:confused: " M4 " wil be a funny name ..
and BMW still not decided to put a V 8 or a bigger I-6 into it ..

most likely will be a V8 .. so sad .. : (

I love BMW I-6 so much .. can't find better 6 cyclinder engine.. but .. V8 .. not a big fan ... :dunno:

The 4-Series will have front engines and rear-wheel drive. Expect the current trend to more power to continue, with a range of powerful six-cylinder engines for the 4-Series cars, plus possibly even a rumored 380-horsepower V-8 engine for the top-of-the-line M4.

The photo shows an artist’s concept of what the BMW 4-Series Coupe might look like when it is introduced for the 2006 model year.

BMW Canada is not "green light" for the 1 series and 2 series yet, same as BMW US, (yes, because of the Mini) however, in European market, BMW needs to make a nice "small" car to flight with Audi A2, Benz A class, or even the VW golf ! :)

So .. we probaby can only view the BMW 1 series from the magazines.... :rolleyes:
