New G20 3 series

[M-factor]

Came across a pic of what looks like the production model 3 series. Borrows several styling cues from the 5, anticipate the interior will be quite similar as well.

Yea looked at it quite closely and it appears more to be a 5 series in the pic.

Great time to haggle BMW dealers on run out models...

Silhouette looks very close to spied version. So eve if not same model. Official styling and looks may not differ significantly to below.

They all Hybrids too as expected! Limited Slip diff as an option when you spec the car, interesting.. Spoke to BMW sales guys at the dealer not 2 hours ago.. Should be here in 3/4 months.

Such a tough time to buy.. Waiting for all the bread and butter G chassis models to get here first to see what else arrives.. 340e sounds like a nice allrounder to me! Can sit in traffic on the electric motor and have the power once traffic clears! Wonder how that will affect diesel sales, will be interesting to see!!

It was always going to look like a "baby" 5er. Any talk on X-Drive models?

Adding a few more realistic pics. Apparently these were leaked from an online configurator.

looks amazing.

Waiting on the entry level engine breaking the R1m point in 3.....2.....1....

Some pathetic renders here. It will look exactly like the new 5, just a tad smaller, and possibly with the clocks of the new x5.

I still prefer the F30 shape over this.
Similarly, I prefer the E46 shape over the E90.

Same as me, I love the E46. The F30 just looks like a refreshed E46. It has that thing...

Tomorrow is the day! And I'm prepared to want to stick to my F30:tiptoe:

BMW going all out against competition,

On the smaller 5er issue - isn't that common these days?
A c class is a baby e which is a baby s class?

Cost cutting, laziness, kicking in :fencelook:

I am kind of disappointed tbh judging by these leaked renders.

Front ... Waaay to busy... Looks like a mix of lexus/dare i say it... C-class.
Headlights. What is that weird piece half cutting the light.

Rear... Tailights not too bad but again.. Definite Japanese influence. Lexus.

The wheels.. Hate them. So bland and uninspiring.. What's happened to dished or concave wheel styles BMW?

I am hoping that the real world photos may do it justice however..

The interior doesn't look too bad.

Liking the 5er inspired interior, but not sure how I feel about that body line straight down the middle of the sides:hammerhead:

The G20 has been put through some serious testing. With a lot of focus on handling and dynamics, by looking at some of the interior pics it seems like they also stepped up their game and focused on the quality and ergonomics. I rate this is going to be a huge success in the Sport Luxury bracket. :smilebounce:

The broadcast starts at 9.30am right? Let me go for a breakfast and then tune in. :=):

Mixed feelings too, it looks better than the 5er from the front TBH there is something wrong with the flat bottom front of the new 5er, looks horrid.

Interior looks modern, let's see!
Guessing a 320d will cost a bar :fencelook:

Dont worry, they'll depreciate like all the BMW's. :smilebounce:
