Take these for what they are worth, a French magazine's artistic renderings, but the Spies want to know:
Is this aggressive design where BMW should head?
Or, should they ride the conservative wave as they did with the all-new 2011 5-series?
It seems that BMW has taken a few lumps to the chin from critics who feel that the new 5'er is a bit too tame. But considering the 3-series is a car that cannot fail, as it makes up a significant chunk of BMW's annual sales, I think this edgy rendering is a bit too far over the line to make it to production status.
What say you?

E90Post reports:
French publication Automobile Magazine has just published these new renderings on what a possible next generation F30 3-Series could look like. While my first gut instinct when looking at these was that they took the concept 5-Series GT Clay Model's very sleek front end design and applied it to the future 3-Series I have to say the result does work. The details are still a bit to concept-ish and aggressive for a production 3-series, but the general underlying theme does flow quite nice and could be a success if something like this was taken to production by BMW. But you be the judge!
