SPIED: Video Of BMW's Next Gen 3 Hits The Web -- How Does It Sound?

The upcoming 3-series replacement (chassis code: F30) is likely to debut in 2011 as a 2012 model. Now that the winter months are upon Europe, the car is undergoing cold climate testing, and has been spied on video at a local gas station.

Not much is known about the car as of yet, as the car is under heavy body cladding covered with BMWs classic psychedelic camouflage. Current thinking is that the forthcoming 3-series will continue to use styling cues from the BMW CS concept car.

Obviously the suspension is pretty tight, seeing as it barely budged when michael moore #2 heaved out of the rear.

Indeed, but the 1er is slowly taking the place the 3er had.

what's with that rear overhang ?

i agree... and wouldn't think it were a bmw except for two tell-tail signs: the wheels are classic BMW design and the exhaust which is almost certainly 335

the goddamn "wheels" look like they're 17 inches. i dont think there is a sports car that has 17in wheels available even on the base model.

I smell a 'Lexusesque' ad campaign brewing: V8 noise from a 6 cylinder.
