The flip sp33d version of the new 330. I think it's an improvement.

I think the new 3 looks better. Is that rear end off a Jetta? Also the front is just and E46 M3 right? So thats not a change from current

It just goes to show your reluctance to give up the E36 look.

Interesting. I would have reversed the treatment. Front of E90 with rear of E46.

The front of the E46 is still better than that of the E90 but it's not bad, but the rear of the E90 is fugly

I think the front of the E46 M3 is classic and think they definately went down hill with the E90. I guess most M3 owners will be holding onto their current E46 longer.
