What was the matter with the other one.... I don't like it. I love the current M3's and this is a step backwards styling-wise. I hate it.

[Speed Racer]

I thought BMW has had no experience in turbocharging at all.

Not horrible but no positive change from the last model...not liking BMW's styling of late.

i love the current 3 series, ours is going to be arriving in about a month, SOOO excited!!!

 

[bLaH1031]

I like it. It's different but not bad different.

 

[ArchangelX]

Yuck...the current M3 looks SOOO much better. I hate the grill..I hate all grills that look like that...blechh.

You're absolutely right. Those BMW 1.5l I4 Formula 1 engines were not turbocharged, they had 500+ hp via magic...

 

[FriedRice]

there was a 318t rite? (i remember some type of hatch.. unless it was a n/a 1.8L engine... that would suck it hard)

there was a alpina or whatever engine.. bi-turbo (aka twin turbo)

but its been a while since that was out.. maybe the head guys that designed it are out doing turbo setups for other companies?



that 3 series is ugly. back has the same ugly subaru-like tails as the 5..

word to bmw: THEY ONLY LOOK GOOD ON SUBARUS... (im not joking, i like the wrx a lot, even the looks)

I don't think it looks that bad..pretty nice. :thumbup:

 

[Tikked Again]

Dude.....it's all about the magic

 

[Britai 7018]

the t in the bmw names don't refer to turbos... they're just there. To my knowledge there arent any production BMW turbos right now...
BMW designs have to keep changing just so they don't become outdated, even if they don't look good to us now, who knows, maybe they'll look better in real life, or our taste will adjust to it. That having been said, I still dislike the new 7 series and the i-drive.

Actually the formula 1 engines were putting out about 1000bhp per liter on the Dyno (flash readings) They would regularly qualify with something like 1400bhp in cars lighter than our Celica.

 

[F35-JSF]

Looks like if I ever buy a bmw it will be used....

 

[Jusone36]

me no likey

 

[Mistrimeat]

The current - even the PREVIOUS models look better than that.

wow i can't wait until the IS300 coupe is developed...i plan on buying a new car in 2005 but now that i know what the 3 series looks like, i'm not that excited about it, maybe the HP will change my thinking but i don't know.....i hope the next IS is nice...its was going to be between those 2 cars...besides i think if i go with the IS down the road, it would be cheaper, leaving $$ to mod it and too many ppl drive 3 series here anyways!!
