Would you buy an F30 (next gen 3 series) if it looked like this?

It seems like it is about that time for more and more speculation to come out about the looks of the upcoming 3-Series ... the F30. The latest comes from the French magazine L'Automobile Magazine who has some new renderings of what they think the car could look like.

In 2012, the BMW 3 Series was revamped. This is not a surprise in itself, but our first photographs which show without any camouflage surprising. With his eyes pinched due to its tapered headlights and large air intake in the shield, it boasts its own personality. This is not a 5 Series in reduction. Even if it has the same chord between sport and style ... Spass (joy, in German). Like its big sister, she also has a longer wheelbase and wider track, just to comply with the growth spurt that is observed among families. And despite its increased size, the new version would not weigh heavier than its predecessor.

MCKENNA will be more than happy to sell this Lexus looking thing at their usually steep, well-over invoice price.

Thumbs up Not that bad....

I like the way these renderings look. They were made in 2008 so I'm sure the look has changed a bit.

Thumbs down No Like...

If the next generation 3 is going to look like that, I'll plan on keeping the 2011 I'm ordering. That "concept" looks like a Bimmer got impregnated by a Ford Mustang and had a bastid child!

I'm not worried - magazine renderings are historically WAY off. Remember some of the renderings for the "4-series"? I expect the F30 to look like a scaled down F10, which is a good thing.
