SPIED: BUNCH Of Technology For BMW's Next-Gen 3-Series Coming Our Way

This week something special happened. The BMW 3-Series prototype shed its camouflage like a caterpillar turning into a beautiful butterfly. Except we don't know how good looking this car will be -- yet. Relatively speaking though, it's nice to see the shape of the upcoming three without that clunky hardware.

Moving away from that though, spies were able to snap some crucial shots that display the upcoming technology that will be featured in the next-gen 3'er.

Take, for example, the shots that display the Black Panel Display, Auto Start-Stop and Lane Assistance tech.

In addition, it looks like the 3's interior is shaping up quite well.


What a week it's been for F30 testing. Throughout the week, we've brought you 40+ F30 photos, in all various colors and models. We now share photos of the first red F30 3-series 335i sedan spied, together with the best F30 interior photos yet. Here is what we see revealed by the interior photos...

Glad they are keeping the manual parking brake. In DC at least, one must have a manual parking brake located between the two front seats in the vehicle used to take the driving test. It's good to know BMW are looking out for the interests of new drivers who'll have a BMW 3er as their first car.

I hope that comment from a Bimmer fan wasnt serious. Hello, take your driving test in another car? WOW.

Anyways, I cant wait for this new 3! Why am I seeing more of these prototypes in the news than Cadillac's ATS? Tsk-Tsk! Thats making me nervous Cadillac. :/

I am sure BMW will stay true to the dynamics of driving with this vehicle and not make it softer like the 5er. It will have a longer wheel base, so it wont feel as harsh, but the handling will still be there. if not, they made a huge error.
