Looks like the front bumper will have those chrome pieces like the 7 series, not to sure if like that.

Other than that it looks good!

Not surprised it looks like this...not liking how it looks EXACTLY like the 5 series, but I'm sure it will grow on me when it comes time tonged one lol

Dntlvet · 08-14-2011, 12:19 PM

I'm looking toward the M3 version. fun to look

kinan_sleiman2006 · 08-14-2011, 12:29 PM

Looks to me like a trim piece similar to the E92 LCI (see here: http://www.e90post.com/goodiesforyou.../P90054812.jpg).

Best regards,

you guys are all wrong. THis is 5 series

j/k j/k
It looks buffy to me

NiVeDh · 08-14-2011, 12:40 PM

Nice! Patiently waiting for an F30 M3. Please make the sedan!

535DMSport · 08-14-2011, 12:42 PM

Seems like the new 3 series gets Head-up display also.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 08-14-2011, 12:45 PM

Trunk looks so short

RandyB · 08-14-2011, 12:50 PM

It just looks like more of the same to me. If it were not any bigger or heavier than the previous car, I might be excited.

Mace · 08-14-2011, 12:50 PM

Hummm...can't say it's great from these angles, doesn't look "exciting" to me...but can't say it's ugly either.

Things I notice are the hood and rear. The rear deck is so short and angled such that the car almost looks like a hatchback to me but can't say for sure until we see a true profile shot.

The hood could also be a problem...looks quite a bit like a Lexus IS-F, which, IMHO isn't a good thing. Again, hard to tell from these angles. I'm cautiously optimistic but much more interested in the 4-series.

@ Scott26

one more question, will the F30 have the Alcantara/Leather combination as an option for M-Sport package? that would be perfect, as I had that in one car and it was just awesome... and I know that the new 6er has that, so please say "yes"

DaveL · 08-14-2011, 12:59 PM

Looks exactly the same...Enlighten me please

Faust · 08-14-2011, 01:00 PM

I see 1-series clues at the front :-(:-(:-(

Wolf · 08-14-2011, 01:01 PM

back looks like a G37... not kidding and looks like we have our new e39!

No more M3... just M4

Agreed... overall looks good, better than the f10. Main concern is the wheelbase - looks kinda long, would negatively affect the handling.... hope it isn't too much bigger

catalyst · 08-14-2011, 01:11 PM

Looks definitely like an evolutionary design.

I'm guessing the average person wouldn't be able to tell a e90 from an f30 without being close.

Wonder if f32 will follow the same idea. I'm only saying this because I have a e92

GMW · 08-14-2011, 01:16 PM

As a few already mentioned here. My realistic review will arrive after seeing and driving the new F-30. These raw photos aren't pushing me towards a dealer to place an order for November so who knows if my review will ever happen. I'm not sold on the f-30. Especially a tri-turbo M3!

Yes the M-Sport Packet will be revealed at launch but go sale in the third quarter of 2012. It will include those M-specific seats found within the 5er and new 1er.

You do realise that the original photographer is in a building, possibly an office shooting a birds-eye view of the F30 - That is why it looks longer and wider . By now I thought people would understand perspectives when viewed from great height?

E92LNGCGY · 08-14-2011, 01:21 PM

Looks great from these blurry pics. Overall as expect a baby 5-series. I think I will wait before picking up a C63.
