SPIED: Could These Be The FIRST Shots Of The Next-Generation BMW 3-Series Interior?

As you can see, BMW's next-generation 3-Series has been spotted again.

The problem is that BMW just won't get rid of some of its damned camouflage. So, some spy photographers were forced to do something a bit more devious. Get some interior shots!

The intriguing part is that if the interior we see in the photographs is what makes it to production, it looks like a bad case of deja vu. Isn't that pretty close to a 1-Series' interior?

Which begs me to ask:

Would you rather see a more F10 5-Series interior or a 1-Series ripoff?

**Thanks for the tip, Tim!


it highlights what appears to be a 335i version of the F30 sporting a seemingly bigger front bumper with larger air intakes. Our source says the sound of this test mule leaves little doubt that it is a six cylinder motor -- it sounds great...

At the moment I actually prefer the 3 Series' interior to that of the C-Class despite being a Mercedes fan myself purely because it looks more luxury and expensive (the pop-out COMAND system in the C-Class looks cheap and tack IMO). However if BMW launch an interior anything like the one above (i.e. the 1 Series rip-off) it will completely throw me off considering a 3 Series again. The above interior shots look more like a backward step than a forward one.

*sigh* It has been said over and over and over and over again that theyre using the 1 interior for camo purposes.

As an e46 owner...I prefer having the daah cantered toward the driver..makes the car seem more driver oriented. Also, it would seem that because it's still covered...there are details that haven't been finalized yet so don't give up hope yet.

Just by looking at the interior u see it is smaller has a manual shifter. May be a short guy but he is close to the steering wheel

Actually I think an upgraded 1 series interior would look much better than the current 3 series interior/dash. The current gen 3 series dash is horrendous. No one can deny that the last version of the cars interior was much nicer with better materials and really just a much better design.

It's a dummy interior from the 1 series for testing only, and NOT the actual new 3 series interior.

Oh I also see this car is a sedan and not a coupe so I really don't know. This is a mule test car they are always using.
