At long last, we finally get a clear undisguised view of the upcoming F30 BMW 3-Series. These shots are courtesy of a F30Post forumer, who snapped the F30 from above while it was on a shoot in Spain. The car you see here will probably end up being the same car in the F30’s future press publicity photos, and if that’s the case the colour you see here will be the launch colour for the car.
It really looks like a smaller F10, but with a much more youthful and sharp front end – check out the angle of the headlamps towards the kidney grilles. There’s also a glimpse of the interior which reveals that the car will have the option of a heads up display system. The iDrive screen is also the pop up style which first made its debut on the F12/F13 6-Series.
Look after the jump for two more shots.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
looks good?
cant really tell. haha
IMHO – oversized. like E90. the E46 was fitting just nice…
looks pretty big …but i guess mayb just the camera angle…
an e90 is much more handsome..especially the ///M3 apalagi kalu GTS
seriously looks just like a mini F10 5 series!!!
front like X1 i guess, tail light like f10 shape…interior abit like x1 also (pop up), steerling wheel button change to f10 type, gear similar to x1 or f10 type.
I think i am 80-90% accurate :)
Definitely some resemblance of F10…..
baby 5 series!! Btw the hud comes as standard
BMW is the best!!!
Way better than E90!
Great !!
Looks alot like the outgoing car …. :)
Can’t stir up my desire to have one, Mercedes and Audi still won. BMW always looks better in grey silver, this colour does not enhance the profile.
BMW have motorcycles lah… Mercedes and Audi don’t have… BMW still wins on German motorcycle segment…
BMW bike can’t even match the sales of kawasaki, ducati way too far to reach. LOL
Audi Mercedes don’t make bike same reason like how BMW don’t sell commercial vehicles.
Hardcore BMW fans always be hardcore, one will still pay for it regardless how it turns out to be.
I would rather get a used 135 coupe than paying for the similar package sedan, unless 2.0 litre turbo is in at the next launch.
only a fool would buy a 4 cyl audi or mercedes, if its going to be a 4 cyl anyway – why not just buy a toyota or proton?
Sleek and dynamic, I like! :)
nice.
Hopefully this new 3 series will not breakdown as often as the BMW F10 5 Series. Aaaiyoo, all my friends got the F10, complain like mad, malfunction like crazy. But I suspect its going to give lots of problems as it will have more gadgets and electronics being a newer car
Here come the anxiety Audi’s salesman again.
i think there is a mistake…the f30 or the new 2012 6 series don’t have the pop up idrive….its a thin HD anti-glare screen which is fixed on top of the aircond vent.
From the pics, It looks like finally BMW is getting into the side mirror signal trend. I don’t know why, but i personally do like the signal on side mirror “thing”. And this coming out 3, has the “HUD”. Arrrrrr. I Want to cancel my 523 order, now. I want he HUD. But 528 is a bit too ex for me now, with ongoing other commitments. I think I’m going to cry now in my office. And then I’m going to call BMW. For real.
from a 5 to 3? if i can buy 5, why i consider 3?
5 to 3 isn’t really a downgrade and a 3 to 5 isn’t really an upgrade, don’t be fooled by the numbering system – it’s the engines that determine whether it’s an upgrade or a downgrade….
example: 523i to a 335i is an upgrade!
omg bmw has just become predictable n boring.. this is conservative.. bring chris bangle back
the new f30 and the 2012 6 series use a fixed HD anti-glare screen. Not a POP UP screen!!!
Not a good time to buy current 3er. Better looking than existing 3rd.
I wish I had money.
Me too. :-)
This car will be an epic.
No wonder Merc and Audi’s sales will forever never catch BMW.
I wonder whats going on with the dash.. Looks new.. Center Dash looks deeper.. But i would say this looks better than the current one.. Something to look forward to :)
im loving it
I will sell off bits of my precious diamond ring for this.
Sat foto ke? UAV? so grainy…
E90 320i is approx RM3.8k per month for 5 years. How many ppl can afford?
320i Sports i-drive is 4k a month only…
I still prefer the Audi A4 2.0 TDi S-line over this… I wish Audi can bring in the 54mpg diesel. This baby has 143hp/320Nm torque but ECU highly tunable. Will Pawned the 320d!!!
Go and check the specs of the 320d before you type la!
sweeeet!! My dream car!!
wow looks good..! Gone the flame theme design..i think bimmer design these days are modern, clean, muscular and very mature..hwever it lacks a tiny bit of the garangness we’ve seen during Bangle’s era..look at the latest M5…tengok pun macam nak tido terus…tak steam bai!!
