I'm going to reserve my thought the F32 will be priced well above F30. Time will tell... I don't think BMW will price it beyond it's intended market, look at the E89 Z4, priced too high for the casual sports car enthusiast.

You CANT DO THAT!!! Just because it is a 17" rim does not mean it is exactly 17" in diameter. Rims have a lip that may be as much as 0.75" on BOTH sides.

The F32 is a bit on the short side AND that's a bad angle.

we'll see this car soon enough, in january in detroit. i'm guessing this car will look really aggro with the ///M tech package. can't wait to see if they will go with the upgraded 6 with more power in this first year.

why do they feel it necessary to change the name of the legendary sedan that defined a new class of automobiles, as well as making this brand as widely ubiquitous as it is right now.

The legendary car that defined a whole new class of automobile was a coupe, not a sedan.

Change is inevitable. If BMW still made the E30, they'd be out of business. See also: Lotus.

i'm ALL for design change, but dont change the legendary monicker. it's still "BMW" isn't it, why don't they change the whole entire brands name too if change is what they're after. I just think it's an unnecessary measure taken, just to compete with mercedes or audi. people will respect you if you stick to your guns.

To be fit for Series 4 (The NEW series), they need to do more. If they still use F30 headlight for Series 4 F32 or E82 then this is too lazy for BMW, it is like E46 coupe and sedan (minor different) and should call this 3 Coupe.
Even the E92 are more suitable for calling Series 4 since E90 and E92 doesn't share too much design (it stand apart, headlights are different shape at all and Taillight also base from different design).


Yes, This is how it should be S3 and S4

And see F30 to F32 RENDER!! if it is true as render then BMW is now LAZY.

Same light just cut the door out, Ehhh?!

And see Series 5 F10, it is a reviewer say "the same sausage, cut to a different length".

Dont worry guys...

No need to sweat the details... when this car comes out, it will still be very worthy to own and have it...

No doubt about it... It's not like it's going to be a flop.
