i don't usually say this about full frontals...but that is not very appealing...however, i still like the overall shape and vote "like it"

[laziemofo]

im liking it alot!!!

the front of the 330i is not as aggressive. here's a link to the '06 M3 (I think it's coming out in '06)...now this is aggressive (but the whiskers are still there). i love the front bumper and the rims.

awesome...those look like hres w/o a lip

exterior I like, interior has to go. I dont like the side, where they have that line cutting through it, its like the 5.

[Sunapollo]

Dont like the grill part like the 6 series ... 5 series one is much better !! The car is pretty otherwise :) Hopefully the coupe is much better !!

I could be wrong but this photo surfaced a long time ago and people on E46Fanatics were saying it is a photoshop. Just look at the rear side window and flow of the roof, looks exactly like E46 slope.

i'm not sure if it's official...but the first i saw it was in a UK magazine.

[two-timer]

looks nuts...seems like a drastic change tho...but still nice

[kerisabe]

100% agree with you dieselgrl!! :yourmyido The '06 M3 is woot woot woot woot :0 :0

[ianS]

awesome...those look like hres w/o a lip
It is 100% a classic BBS style!
BTW, isn't that automatic shift knob kind of Civic look?

[E46]

loveee the coupe... but not so big on the sedan

[dieselgrl]

this poll is for the new 3-er, right?...we should start a new poll for the M3. cause i hate the new 3-er, but love the new M3...

[Sunapollo]

i'm not sure if it's official...but the first i saw it was in a UK magazine.

hopefully the hood is not like that .. it's like putting a x5 hood there :(

[BlueSky]

hopefully that's the final design for the 06 M3...
if that's the case... bye bye TVM... :D :devil:

[STALKER]

The M3 pic is a a major photo chop, it willl be much more toned down.

I don't know but the headlights are just ugly. It just looks plain weird and ugly :)
I can't stand the tail lights either. Maybe seeing it live will change my mind. :Idunno:

[M333ee]

I vote OK for the exterior and :thumbsdow for the interior but then again I don't like any of the interiors in any of the new BMW's

[SmoothMoka]

I'm not lovin it yet...maybe next year, i'll learn to accept it. like vince said, the interior stylings is not as sporty and young...but then again we are all getting old :D

I agree! the E46 interior is very outdated and boring. But the new one are kind of Lincoln feel.... it just missing the brench :Idunno:

[Chopper]

The Poll doesn't allow "like some features". I dont like the front, the trunk, nor the interior so I guess it's closer to hate it than like it.

[Regin8r]

I don't like it from the photos.

Maybe it will grow on me in person. The new interiors :thumbsdow

I prefer having the features of the use, but angled toward the driver like the old. Not to crazy about the triangle air-bag steering wheel either.

I don't love it - I don't hate it either. I like some of the luxurious treatment that have given the interior (like the vents in the rear). The front cup holders on the passenger side have to go. That is plain ugly. As for the exterior, the overall shape is like the new 5 (go figure), but looks more put together. I'm not making a final judgement until I see one in person. Just my 2 cents...

i totally second this...
:thumbsdow for the new 3.

[audiophilia]

sides -- nice

back -- okay

interior -- miss the angled dash, but love i drive and push button start

front -- hideous:sick:

[bmwboy88]

The exterior is nice as it has a slight simimarities to its older brother, the new 5.
The interior is just okay. The dashboard is too straight, I don't get the sporty feeling.

[M007]

It really have a same feature as the e46. Just the interior are different. I'm sure the coupe will look even better. :thumbsup:

[alexm520]

Decided to compare its size to previous E39 5-Series. Practically identical except for 10" shorter. Probably lost in smaller trunk size and a bit less rear leg room.

E90 "...At 178.0 inches, the length increases by 1.9 inches. The width at 71.5 inches increases by 3.1. Vehicle height is 55.9 inches, an increase of 0.24. The wheelbase is 1.4 inches longer at 108.7."
E39 http://www.supercars.net/cars/2001@$BMW@$E39%20M5x.html

E39 / E90

width : 70.9 / 71.5
length : 188.3 / 178.0
height : 55.7 / 55.9
wheelbase : 111.4 / 108.7
