Visually, I can't believe this is a all-new model. Nice to see the return of the 328i though :party:
-
What on earth is going on with BMW? Terrible styling and a range powered by four pots in various states of tune :stupid:
Whatever happened to the mid-range straight six sleeper?
-
Quite like the styling of that. At lease BMW are trying to differentiate themselves from the standard Euro Box..........
With regard the engine line up, it would seem BMW's main target audience in the UK is now fleet and as such we will always get the humdrum over the exciting more fuel hungry alternatives.
-
The only similarities between this 328 and the other is the badge!!
Still looks an impressive engine, 5.9 to 60, 44mpg and a low tax bracket :congrats:
-
looks rubbish imo
-
E46 was a beautiful car... this is not :confused:
-
I fully expect that the M Sport models will look pretty good, but BMW desperatley need to stop using these over-Photoshopped press shots. They do the cars no favours.
-
I feel for the middle management suit that gets a 316d as a company car. 116bhp! :grin:
-
I like the look of that. Not as nice looking as the E46 imho. Put it this way, it doesn't look as awful as the new 1 Series, what were they thinking when they shaped the headlight units like that? Looks more like a korean eco-box!
-
Quite like that.
The 328i engine spec is stunning, I'll be looking for that engine in the 3 series coupe when I get rid of the golf :happy2:
-
I like the look of that
-
Not many liked the first Mr Bangle 5 series but by the end of production they were everywhere!!
This will be the same after 12 months.

And no doubt 90 Grammes/km CO2 which is unfortunately for fleet what its all about, in the way that company car tax is calculated - its money in the bank for said middle manager
-
44.1 mpg....yeah right.
-
M Sport version looks better.

I am probably the only one, but i LOVED the Bangle era.....thought the 1 series was mint when it came out, and looks even better then its sloppy replacement, the 5 series was a cracker, 7 series....not so much but Ireland is poor so we didnt see many of them, Z4 was a beauty and the 3 was a decent effort at a dull german saloon
now tho, its impossible to tell the 5 and 7 apart when the owners debadge them, the 1 looks like it was made of wax and left next to the heater, so all its features are sliding off the car.....the X1 is odd, the X3 doesnt quite crack it either..(not ashamaed to say im weak for the X6)...the only decent one is the new Z4!
