teaston · 10-01-2018, 02:42 AM

Real photos now leaked!

https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1540840

And official videos:

And first video review:

This seems to legitimately be the configurator images of the new 3 series, looks very very Lexus to me!

Nice it get the lovely sport seats from the X3 though.

That is very very nice! I really like the style of the seats.

The boot also looks more sweeping/curved than I expected.

JD6 · 10-01-2018, 02:56 AM

I hope they are real - the outside looks a lot sharper than I expected.

Those chrome grilles look hideous

From the other thread the M340i seems to have less chrome, or perhaps darkened chrome.

I have to agree. I really don't like the 5 series and this seems to be going the same way. More sales of aftermarket black ones I suspect.

B58_Touring · 10-01-2018, 03:46 AM

Cant say I'm bowled over by it at the minute, lt'll grow on me but a couple of things don't look right in those picture. Door creases look like they're in the wrong place, the line should run through the front and rear door handles. Rear lights look a bit audi and the front bumper looks a bit lexus, particularly on that black one. But then a lot of cars have similar features, the new A class has taken some of it's design features from vauxhall

NotGotABimmer23 · 10-01-2018, 03:49 AM

Looks fantastic imo, it is very lexus like though. Glad they extended the interior trim across the passenger side, the lack of in the new z4 looked very poor imo.

andrewX3M40d · 10-01-2018, 03:51 AM

God damn it I really like it. Especially the rear and interior. Thought I had made my mind up about getting a G30 but now I can see the M340i pulling me back.

Archer-s · 10-01-2018, 03:51 AM

So far the teaser shots look better than the whole car, some of the lines look fussy to me, hopefully it looks better under real light, really want to like this car so I can go buy one

Seems to be missing the LED fogs too.

I'm sure there will be a handful of aftermarket bits to darken it up a bit.

stevei · 10-01-2018, 03:56 AM

front end looks hideous

Pjak · 10-01-2018, 03:56 AM

Got to say it doesn’t blow me away. But another day or so and we’ll see the exact thing at the Paris motor show.

RobUK · 10-01-2018, 04:05 AM

That front end is awful. Way too busy, looks like they got the Honda Type R team in to design the front. Could look better in the flesh but I doubt it, will have to wait and see. Seems simple elegance is a thing of the past.

KCH1984 · 10-01-2018, 04:09 AM

That looks fantastic - massive improvement over the outgoing car IMO, especially the interior which looks great!

These G series cars are starting to grow on me, I'm sat in my local dealer just now with a Donigton Grey M5 sat opposite. So much want!

admg · 10-01-2018, 04:14 AM

The blue tint in the headlights of the M340i look a little strange.

TodmordenLad · 10-01-2018, 04:23 AM

Interior and rear look sharp, front looks a bit of a mess, just too busy. Probably better in the metal and in a different colour too

I was wondering whether they were laser lights? But, that would be an expensive option on a 3 series.

Nothing particularly blows me away. Do not like the bland rear or the digital dash, or the push button up/down for temperature - one of my pet hates.

Definitely a step forward though.

DexGC · 10-01-2018, 04:27 AM

Not a fan of the m340i exhausts

Rudz · 10-01-2018, 04:45 AM

Just me �� i love the front, hate the rears and the dash

creepy coupe · 10-01-2018, 04:53 AM

The rounded front end looks a bit C Class. The rear looks like my 2 series.
