More photos of the coming F30 3-series playing (testing) in the snow - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

Absolutly nothing new in these pictures compared to the already seen similar spy photos, but as things have been slow leading into the Geneva Autoshow, thought I would post these up.

JulieDriving · 02-23-2010, 10:57 PM

Darn. Am I ever going to get on board with the new front?? I don't want to see a baby 7 or 5-series front...

Oh I see it.

One can only hope that what they are testing here is a new LSD option...

Yeah I see it. And another thing I noticed is how much lower the top of the rear wheel well is compared to the front.

r888 · 02-24-2010, 10:59 PM

The grill is too wide...

zuggerat89 · 02-25-2010, 04:33 PM

It actually looks mad narrow, the car I mean.

BimmerGuyFL · 02-25-2010, 04:54 PM

I bet their going to offer Integral Active steering as an option since in corners it will make it turn in like a shorter wheel base car. Plus if you see the wheel base on the current 2.0 inches longer than the current E9X platform. On a side note if you look at BMW's from the past such as the E30 (3-series) E34 (5-series) and E32 (7-series) the back wheel well also was lower compared to the front. Maybe they are going back to more retro styling on the new F30 3-series.

Jblack4083 · 02-25-2010, 04:54 PM

It looks too big.

Advevo · 02-25-2010, 05:06 PM

It is too big.

The one series is the old 3 series coupe.

positiveions · 02-25-2010, 05:40 PM

i hope is bigger than the E9X. my current MKV jetta is bigger than the E9X

bavarian19 · 02-25-2010, 05:51 PM

TsunamiFury · 02-25-2010, 05:59 PM

Are you sure this isn't just the new 7 Series Midget edition?

There's no need for it to get bigger (though it probably will). If you want a bigger car, that's what the 5 and 7 series are for.

malter2.0 · 02-25-2010, 06:06 PM

E30 - most sporty chassis
E36 - best sized 3-series generation ever. It was perfectly proportional.
E46 - Onset of obesity, but chassis rigidity over E36 was staggering.
E92 - Elegantly obese. Wheelbase too long.
F30 - E39 5er size. Wheelbase length will take away nimbleness.

Advevo · 02-25-2010, 06:33 PM

exactly malter.
