It seems someone decided by accident to add a Bangle crease to the front door.

What why would they do this. The coup front maby but this is horrid

No, that front is beginning to morph into a Dodge “in your face” nose. Not bad, imo, but the rear looks a bit like a Mercedes now…

Looks horrible, before there was a hint of class to their body style. now it just looks like they slammed the front-end inwards.

The coupe what pushed out in the center witch looks great. Aggressive like the old 325s but this is way to far. I wonder if there just puting this out to trick us sometimes they will do this. Think about it. Usually you only see pictures of there new cars about two months before there out. This wouldnt come untill 2008? Seems odd to me. I dont trust this. Plus no tape? They would never let it go around open if this was real.

I think the dual exhausts work better with the sedan’s rear than the coupe’s, but I don’t like the front

I love the new dent in the door design cue

LOL Bush - no that was no accident - that is Bangle’s latest series of design cues - soon it will be the rage - everyone will drive their cars into poles to create new, truly unique creases that have never been seen before.

Didn’t you know that Bangle’s primary design technique is to take a good-looking BMW, crash-test it personally into many walls and poles, then study the resultant creases to turn into his next ’signature’ design. And you thought there was a method to his madness - now you know why his next move and design truly cannot be predicted!

I know of a great Rhinoplasty clinic… BMW, give me a call and I can get you the info.

Time to un-Bangle the BMW design department. BMW is carrying Chris Bangle, not the other way around…and its time to bring it to a stop. While we’re at it, did they fix the hideous interior?

Didn’t take BMW too long to restyle certain elements.

Should have left it the same.

I dont understand, why wouldn’t the new sedan be a derivative of the new coupe?

Looks like ****………but just wait, soon Car & Driver will be shoveling more ‘heaps of praise’ on this…….

its official, the entire bmw line looks like turd on 4 wheels

Nose reminds me of a late 90s Pontiac grand am or something

Bangle doesn’t dsign BMS any more and wasn’t responsible for the 3 series

Bangle doesn’t design BMWS any more and wasn’t responsible for the 3 series

Ricardo hit the nail on the head. BMW needs to fire their designers and their product planners for letting this crap out. I guess that they want to make sure that BMW is known for its engines and its handling and thats all. Certainly not its styling.

Another unrelated thing about BMW: They have removed their dipstics from the transmissions and made all the tranny fluid “lifetime”. Liftetime.. yeah right. No such thing. They want you to wear their cars out so that you’ll buy another one. That idea must have come from a former Ford employee.

I would have hated to buy a 2006….

Can someone seriously please tell me why the new sedan wouldn’t be a derivative of the new coupe?

For a $50k Cdn car, that is one UGLY design in and out.

Sad.

I like the new front bumper. The current one is too bland.

Guys, really… don’t expect much style from something under 50K. The new 3 series was ugly as hell to begin with. The whole point of this car is to be used as an abusable toy, not something to go around showing off cruising.

honestly guys i love the design.

I don’t think it is too bad, but it looks like somebody grafted a late 90s Pontiac Gand-Am bumper/grille on the front.

Hmm….Certainly looks more aggressive than the current sedan front end; my guess is that they’re trying to enhance the resemblance between the sedan and coupe.

New twin-turbo I6? Depending upon how beefy the bottom end is, perhaps this will be the spiritual successor to the Supra…?

“BAMF”, why would they be the same … off the top of my head, the G35 coupe and sedan are not identical.

Why are we still looking at “Spy” shots. Here is a “real” 2007 335i sedan. This is a US spec one from a guy who just took delivery in Germany. Same looking car as the 06 except dual tail-pipes.

I never thought I’d say this in my lifespan, but….The new Cadillac CTS looks alot better.

Spy photographer Hans G. Lehmann caught the 2007/2008 BMW 3-Series sedan sans disguise today in Germany. The car is almost certainly a 335i turbo model. The car was first spotted driving up and down a mountain road with a disguise over the front end.
