sigh, another troll... why, oh why? IS350 must have ruffled few feathers :-).

Thats one good looking Daewoo Lanos...

See now I REALLY like the new 3-series from the front end to the front door. After that...GOD DAMN its ugly. I got the chance to check it out at the NYIAS and they must have showed it in the worse color ever. It looked so bad all around. This silver really makes the lines of this car stand out. However I still like the IS350 more.

I've always loved the 3-series coupes more than the sedans anyway, so hopefully the new model will look great.

not quite, as i have said i will be getting both the Lex and Beemer, one for me and one for teh wife

it looks pretty good. :thumbup: it's growing on me.

Agni,

I'm moving your post to car chat since it has nothing to do with the new IS. Please put all BMW and other make posts there.

okay, thank you
sorry about that i only visit the GS and IS forums on this site :uh:
so havent really ventured to the car chat... but now i will :cool:

Thank You for the pictures.
E90 is a great looking car. I don't really like the back but it's still better than the E46.
Old 3 just looks outdated in comparison.

:slap:

Looks pretty decent from the front, but (where's that puking smiley?) from the back. I'll take my E36 over that E90. The E46 is the sexiest 3 series ever, period.

E36 > E90

that new 3 series is FUGLY!

i completely agree..........

well, at least once these come out, used e46 m3s will be somewhat a little cheaper

the interior is uninspired

hell the whole car is

just doesnt wow me :thumbdn: :thumbdn:

The silver one from the first post with the flatter wheels is the best looking E90 shot I have ever seen. Still though, the IS just does it for me. I have never liked the Bangle designs save for part of the 6 series and I never will. Sorry 3 series, that includes you.

Agni88, I really wish you put the front end pic first... it would've saved me from an early heart attack :(

I love the front, I hate the rear.

As a fan of both Lexus and BMW but not loyal to either, I think BMW has dropped the ball on their new styling direction, both exterior and interior. I'm sure they are fine cars, but other than the exterior of the new 6-series I don't like any of them. On the other hand, I really like the styling of the new GS and IS, interior and exterior, and for most of us the driving dynamics are a wash. If a domestic manufacturer came out with interiors like in the new 3-series, critics would say they were leftover from the 80's. Since it's in a BMW they will say it's "retro-chic" or something. My '84 RX-7 interior looked better. Shoot, even my '78 Trans Am (loaded, with 8-track tape & leaking t-tops) interior looked better! :) My money will be going to Lexus.

I will agree with most members that the current 3 is much much nicer.

The new 3 is .....um.....like a mini-5 series :sad:
Well if people like the new 5, they will like the new 3....and if any hates the new 5, they'll probably hate the new 3 then.

I don't see the i-drive :woohoo:

Edit: Never mind, it's there in the first pix. :egads:
I guess i-drive is there to stay, b/c it migrated to the the new S class also :(

I disagree... I like the new 5, but I abhor the 3's tail.
The taillights just look too scrunched up...

That is one ugly ass car...........It actually looks worse in person. :thumbdn: :thumbdn:

For me personally, BMW had the best styling of any brand from top to bottom of their lineup just a few years ago, and now they have one of the worst. :sad:

I have to admit, the interior is a lot better than I thought. But that rear end... OMG!

BMW interiors feel very cheap... the leather is definitely hard... at least in my opinion... infiniti offers better materials in their cars.... and they share them with nissan! ive sat in my friends 545i and although passable for a luxury car.. the interior just isnt up to par. still, people buy BMWs for other reasons... they drive amazing!

It looks like all the E90's were in a wreck in the back end.

:thumbdn:

Welp, there goes my wanting a new BMW 3....... :p

It's never a good thing when your seats match your gauges.

these look kinda cool. Are these the drls?
http://www.e90post.com/forums/attach...ntid=837&stc=1

no those are Angel Eyes, the DRLs are the ones to the far left.

Angel eyes are a BMW thing, they look really nice at night

Damn, they already got bodykits for this car already!!?? Thats pretty awsome. Lexus should be sending a few IS350's to aftermarket companies right about now. Heck they should have sent the new GS a long time ago. LOL. Oh man, I cant wait till the end of this year.

Official photos and info of the wagon are already out; looks like only the 325xi for a while, followed by a rwd version; no 330xi, unfortunately.
An AWD IS wagon would interest me greatly, but since that's highly unlikely, it looks like it'll be down to this and the A4 avant for me.
