2027 BMW 3 Series Rendered Based On Spy Photos
An independent artist has digitally removed the camouflage from a prototype of the next-generation BMW 3 Series Sedan (G50).www.bmwblog.com
I'm not a fan. It's not as ugly as buckteeth, but the whole package doesn't work for me. Something about the front end is weirdly proportioned, maybe the rounded droop from the hood to the grill. It would look better straight.
The front reminds me a little of the last-gen Civic (Darth Vader's Sex Face) but cleaned up a bit. I've seen worse, but it's not great. And yeah, I think it's the droop. The side profile looks weird to me.

Will be really interested to see how close this "digital stripping" of the camo gets. A lot of times foam is added to the surfaces they really want to hide and the camo. It's hard to tell from the spyshot he's basing this all on if that's the case. One potential positive is based on the dimensions of the front end, the kidney grille isn't going to continue getting bigger.

Grill might be normal sized again, but if the new 5 series is anything to go on, the shits still ugly.

These are all styled for the Chinese market. Now that they're buying more actual Chinese built vehicles, perhaps BMW will eventually shift away from catering to their god awful tastes

I'd like to dig into the numbers a little more but it appears the cars are significantly cheaper in China too, wonder what the profit per region is like.

It's weird being the last generation to have driven naturally aspirated cars on a regular basis. To actually be able to identify a car based on it's exhaust notes from a block away. Just to hear these types of cars rushing towards you and then away from you. None of the new exotics, imo, can hold a candle to the last of the NAs.
I have no idea how the classic car market is going to be in 20-30 years. It's like how the younger generation is now drinking less alcohol than ever before, you have the younger generations growing up with electric cars, hybrids, and turbos, and no idea how to drive manual transmission. Will they even collect cars? Maybe just as an asset to be parked and stored for financial appreciation, but not for physical appreciation, such as taking it out on the road.

I have driven a few Nissan V6 3.5's - standard ones, Murano, Quest, QX60... they are all CVT's but can give some noise if you push them - none are their /sporty/ style... but the GTR however was off of this engine - obvioulsy it was "hand made" and /different/ but the same (differentbutsamehandwave.meme)
I was behind a GTR one day, and just listened to it idle, then go- it was in city, 1-2 blocks stop n go, so I had some time behind it... it was nice to be able to hear the family resemblance from it, a glorious perfected hand crafted and tuned, to my mass market family hauler. I love my EV and how fast it is... but, the sound, the feel... is missing... and sad. I still want a GTR

Love how they replaced the shitty F1 gearbox with a sequential

Back in the late 90's I drove around in a 240sx with a sequential dogbox for a couple days - totally awesome at WOT banging clutchless shifts (most of them have a throttle cut that cuts the throttle for like 0.05 second when you hit the lever) but it's embarassing and shitty just trying to pull away from a light, sounds like your transmission is going to fall out every time you clunk it into gear, and every gear shift its a massive ker-clunk.
They're really racecars only.
