It's the new body style. You've probably already seen the photos of it, but it just appeared on the US web site. (At this moment, it is not being shown on the German site yet)

O.K. I'm biased but the front is o.k. and I really prefer the 5 Series rear end. :wub:

Oops! That was me...about the rear end!

JDN Oct 28, 2004 04:07 AM

I prefer the E60 head light shape, too. Now that it has been around for a while, all others seem a step behind.

The tailight cluster doesnt flow well....

I think the chrome strip at the top of the new 3 grill, which is just like the strip at the top of the 645 grill, looks like an afterthought, like some aftermarket piece glued on. Not integrated well into the grill shape. Either do more chrome all around, or leave that piece off the top. Seems like it was put on at the last minute to "bling" it up a little.

I'll never understand that chrome strip. More bling?

Overall though the car is nice. The front turn signals are wierd though especially if BMWUSA keeps them in amber and not clear like the E60. Well acctually I guess those are the reflectors we must have amber in the USA.

:rolleyes: Overall, I think the new 3 will be fantastic!!!

I would have loved that new engine in the E60, but these price increases are just completely ridiculous. I can remember less than two years ago when the price difference between an equivalent 330 & a 530 was about $3000.
Now its closer to $10,000!

I know the E90 won't be an exception to this, & analysts predict the Euro strengthening even more against the dollar in the coming years, which means that all of these cars are going nowhere but up. :(

Its getting to be like: If you must have a European car, the sooner you can purchase one, the better. So I will definitely be getting a new 330i, European Delivery as soon as they are available for purchase here in the U.S.

I like it a lot, rear tail lights and chrome strip on the grill. Some may think that it will take getting used to, but it looks great right now to me.
