The new 430i.
A first impression on how it might look (still a photoshop, I guess)...

It doesn't look that much difference from what we drive, IMO.

It looks a lot like a photoshopped E46 coupe where they put some different rear lights on.

yeah.. that rear is loosely based on the E90 rears.. with a photochopped E46 ci side...

I really hope BMW don't go the same way as Merc and release dozens of pointless new models.

It dilutes the brand imo.

I dunno bout that man.. seems like they are pumping out models left and right.... X3 just came out.. and aren't they going to make a 1 and 2 series?.......

brand dilution doesnt come with having alot of models.. just alot of low-end models like the C-coupe ...............but hey.. those pay the bills......................... :unsure:

It's not a pointless model, the 4 series is actually the 3 series coupe just renamed. All sedans were going to be odd numbered (i.e, 1,3,5,7) and coupes (2,4,6). Actually, I think the renaming is still up in the air though.

As for this pciture, it looks like the current E46 with a few changes. I hope it looks a little better than that it's official.

JBOO, that doesn't conform to this week's article in Auto Week on the next generation of the 3-Series:

Auto Week Article

Not sure if I missed it, but I don't see how what I said is disputed by this article JDN.

Please clarify.......

It doesn't. I misread you. Sorry 'bout that. :(
