SPIED: Some More Camo From The 2012 BMW 3-Series Is Peeled Off

Although you may not notice at first, some more camouflage from the 2012 BMW 3-Series has been peeled back. Notice the window line, fully visible C-Pillar and trunk line?

Some commenters have exclaimed that the early impressions seem to point to BMW producing sedans that appear strongly in line with each other. Some dislike it, some dig BMW getting back to its "roots."

You have to admit though, even if BMW decides to do the whole same sausage different size thing again that they have enough niche models for buyers to indulge themselves in. Think: when you have something wild like the X6 and upcoming 6-Series Gran Coupe, it might be an okay bet to go conservative with the sedans, right?

What say you, Spies?


With the new 1-Series out in the open, it is time for us now to take a look at the next car in line for replacement in BMW’s range, the 3-Series sedan with these freshly shot spy photos. As we’re nearing closer to the launch, BMW continues to peel away the disguise with the latest F30 prototype having shed not only plenty of swirly decals but also the fake front and rear end additions giving us a better look of the car’s styling...

Great a "mini 5er, other than size, it probably looks 95% identical to the 5

Well I hope they don't use the same headlights of the new 1 series if they are you must change it now before remove the camo from the car.
The interior I think must be something like a new 1 serie dash , this photos is a mule model so this is not a real one. The exterior I don't see something special just wait for tail lights and headlights design. The model is almost like a 5 series but small size, nothing else.

Sorry peppy, but when they bashed Bangle to death, they also killed any chance of BMW ever taking more than a baby step in product redesign.

Maybe it is just me, but the nose seems to make a MAJOR slant...almost Jaguar-esque?
