Who's Jumping Ship to the New 3 Series?

Cuz5150 · 10-15-2011, 10:55 AM

Anyone planning making the jump?
I just got done viewing the 130 pics and Oh boy.....I did not like much.
The exterior is Meh, the interior is like "whaaat ta F happened here?"
The size of the car has is just absurd

My 135i is gonna stay in my driveway.......for now

You mean F30? Yeah I'm not a fan of it already especially the size.

adobeee · 10-15-2011, 12:27 PM

What's wrong with the size? I haven't seen it myself yet..

romak47 · 10-15-2011, 12:35 PM

yah its getting bigger. it looks nice though.
its like a 5 series and x6 mixed..

its cool. wonder what the new m3 would look like.

4 cyl turbo ? I assume that equates to similar hp as the old 328, but bigger and wider. I would only consider the 335 coupe...still 6 cyl. I guess that means I have to treat my baby well over the next few yrs

Only if I wanted to go slower and look like everyone else.

dicker · 10-15-2011, 03:28 PM

I'll be getting one when the lease is up on my 135i in October 2012 (the E82 will be dead by then

)

i like the new more aggressive look, but the front looks a little weird to me. Guess I need to get used to it. I might get one in a couple years.

So ugly it makes my old BMWs worth more

I like the new 3 series but will deff wait to se the new coupe in both the 1 and 3 series line... Hopefully that will take long enough to kill the Mrs' lust for an SUV!

The press release states the Sedan is 3.7 " longer and a bit lower. The weight is down 88 lbs due to the 4 cylinder. The 4 cyl has an 0-60 of about 5.9 seconds, which is quick!

The size is concerning, but may we won't notice due to the reduced weight and increased torque.

I'm gonna wait until the next M3 or M4, whatever the coupe will be to make my decision.

bogart · 10-15-2011, 11:06 PM

The new 3-series is too big and too ugly
