Official Pics new 3 series

http://www2.autospies.com/images/uploads/files/e90.pdf

I don't know if this has been posted but, here is the offical brochure for the new 3 series sedan. IMO, I think it looks better than the 7 and 5, but no way better than the TL. Still too Bangled-up for my tastes.

did anyone notice the stupid grin on the guy behind the steering wheel? Hahaha...he won't be grinning when he sees the MSRP or when he gets his first maintenance bill...

By the way, WTF is up with those stupid looking shark-fin antennas on the back of newer cars? I've seen these on Audis, BMWs and even the new RL. Does this design provide better reception for XM? The first thing I'd do if I got an RL is rip that stupid thing off the back and put a TL antenna on there. That shark fin has got to be the stupidest looking thing I've seen on a vehicle in a long time. Reminds me of the lame Val Kilmer/George Clooney Batmobiles.

At least they didn't screw it up as badly as they did the 7 and 5-series redesigns.

Not as bad as the 5, 6, & 7 series, but it still leavs a lot to be desired. No where near the class and edgy stying of the TL. But as long as its got that little white and blue propeller above the grill and on the trunk lid, people will pay top dollar for it. Beats me?????

This looks like its in Serbo-Croatian (appologies to my Father-in-Law, being Croatian he'd never put those two words together to describe his language).

Maybe its in some other slavic language? Sure looks like Croatian, given what little of it I know.

Looking at it closer and looking at the name of the file, I bet it Slovenian.

Looks like the check engine light is on in the picture of the Dash. Just advertised in the brochure and the BMW already needs service!

Yep, butt ugly. As if a RICER are designing there cars as ugly as their F1 cars.
No worries from us TL drivers. We’ll be eye candy for the other drivers.

Looks just like the 5 series except smaller. Looks like the have an option to for getting i-drive. Smart move on bmw's part. Every i-drive car has been criticized thus far by most all car magazines.
