RENDERED SPECULATION: If The Next-Gen 3-Series Looks Like THIS Would You GET One?

Much like the long awaited BMW M5 and 6-Series last year, this year belongs to the BMW 3-Series. There are constant updates on this car's testing process and we've already started to see some of the camouflage beginning to peel back since it lost the heavy cladding.

The 3'er must be nearing the final stages of development as we've seen it sporting less and less swirly stuff every week.

Thanks to the 3-Series' slow striptease, the very talented Wildspeed was up to his usual handiwork.

We bring you what we believe are the most realistic F30 3-series sedan renders yet, based directly off the latest and most revealing F30 spy photos.

The F30 sedan adopts BMW's current design language, with a sleeker sloping hood with more upright and widened kidney grilles placed below the hood line. The entire front fascia is more front leaning and shark-like. The F30 features double side character lines, as seen in the render...

Im in love with the new 5 series. I see them all over the place in the Chicago area and suburbs. 3 will be okay but I want the 5. This is the first time I loved a 5 over the 7! A new vehicle is not quite in my budget right now but I'll take the 5er. Thank you!

Agree the new 5 series is spectacular, but this photo rendition of a potential three series is horrendous for two reasons (i.) it is too derivative and (ii.) the front end is sagging kind of like my butt as I age. Neither is attractive as in years gone by.

I thought the front of this rendering looked a bit "squashed down" too. Thought it was just me...

hope that isn't how the front end ends up looking... if it is, only the m sport package will work for me then as that looks boring

As other have said the front needs/probably will to be more vertical.

This 3 looks boring. The 5 look great in that shape. The 7 series looks a little bloated in that shape but its not ugly. I hope the hood doesn't look as flat as it does in this pics cuz it looks like a Mitsubishi.
