Yes but the front needs to be reshaped, don't like it...
And I am sure the back can be improved too, but definitely better than the current one..

its hared to determing the look of the 3 series.. the 3 series always shows some features of where bmw would be going as far as production designs.... just look at the current 3 now and every car that came out after it

The side hump thing going into the rear quarter panel looks horrible though... kind of like it was ripped off of an X5 or something.

If the production version looks like this then BMW will be the first car company to bring the racing widebody look to the average sedan.

Not sure what to think of it, the back looks more like a Merc to me and the front seems like it's missing something.

Actually it's the other way around. The 7 indicates the new design direction, and the 3 is the epitome and finalization of the new language. That's how it's always been.

Sorry, nope. The guy who made this is just a noob and doesn't understand basic proportions.

And you are an authority on automotive design because you graduated from _______ design program? What makes you uniquely qualified to judge my opinions? My post count? Ha ha ha.

wtf are you talking about. I said the guy who made this doesn't stand basic proportions, as in HE doesn't know what he's doing. I didn't say shit about your opinion. And I could care less about post count. There's people on here with four times my count that consist of very little useful information.

akhter · 10-01-2008, 01:05 AM

Is it just me or are the side mirrors unnaturally tiny?

jhcao1472 · 10-05-2008, 12:16 AM

Nice. How does it look like an Is-f. However, the front does look like an Acura.

rsmamg · 10-05-2008, 12:21 AM

yea the color doesnt do it much justice.. it is a little boxey and i dont know about the headlights.. the tail looks cool

AV9 · 10-05-2008, 01:30 AM
