I'm cool with that. (I don't even want to think about how these photos are being received over on RF!)

Roadfly can go screw if you ask me, as the majority over there are all so juvenille anyway.
I think the E90 looks AWESOME...., and BMW has to revamp their models if they are to continue to compete with the G35, Acura. Lexus, etc. Just wait, soon you are going to see all of them copying things from the E90: Composite aluminum will start to be used in their engines, they'll snag certain styling cues (just like that new Acura TL looks like an E46 from the back), etc.

The new 3 looks bigger than before, but probably won't increase as much on the inside as the 5 Series revamp did, comparatively speaking. But with the inevitable use of the Lightweight Aluminum Front End from the E60, as well as the new inline six cylinder engines, I think the E90 promises to be <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>HOT, HOT, HOT</span><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>!!!</span>

I just hope I can afford one.

Nice pics, what's the story with the stripes or something on the mirrors...?

Well, those turn indicators have been there on the 5series, 6series and the 1 series while undergoing road testing. But so far they didn't bring it on the actual models... Probably just a little fake... Like MB very often imitates the BMW grill, just to confuse ppl...

Beautiful! Very appropriate for the 3 series. Certainly not as elegant as the 5 series, which is as it should be.

Hi, I often visit these forums to get info on the e60 and other BMWs.

I have come across a leaked brochure for the upcoming e90 3-Series. It's been posted in many other car forums. I think ya'll would enjoy it. Here's a link to the brochure and photos: http://www.supercarfreak.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=1248

I think it looks pretty good.
