2005-2006 3-series pics

Actual highway shots of the 3 series - pre-production of course. Somebody link them over.

Can't wait to see the real deal. IMO, a 5-series-like front end is good news. I like the eyebrows.

First impression from seeing it with others cars was that its grown, especially the trunk (which is good). The close up of the side shows it is heavily disgused with plastic panels (look at the door handles) and that is probably adding a few inches to the apparent width of the car.
Wow, manufacturers really go all out to keep us from getting a pre-release photo when they hit the streets??

But they said it will have a 5 series like front end with more conservative headlights, which hopefully means no eyebrows (Dame Edna called, she wants her glasses back )

I'm thinking the 3 series isn't going to change nearly as much as the 5 and 7 series did. The window line on the camoed cars looks pretty similar to the current car.

Is this one of the few times Autospies didn't steal the pics from somewhere else?

Too much "camo." I've seen spyphotos that looked good and some that looked awful (like the current lineup). Who nows. Or cares, anymore.
