Does Bangle get the credit on the new 3-series?

Well, technically yes because he runs BMW design.

But, the Spies hear it was no coincidence the new 3-series was actually designed by one of the designers who did the PREVIOUS generation 5-series.

We also hear he was not on the design team in the beginning but was brought in AFTER the you know what started to hit the fan, with the 7 and 5.

The execs at BMW is EXTREMELY nervous about the new three...THIS CAR NEEDS to sell well!

As we predicted a few months ago, Motor Trend is now confirming that BMW PURPOSEFULLY leaked the 3-series brochure, in order to upstage the introduction of the next Audi A4.

Fortunately for Audi, it didn't.

From the press photos it looks like an option (thank you lord). What a useless option at that. I am not replacing my e46 330i five speed just yet.

And maybe then Will will stop sounding like a broken record! That'll be great!
