I hope that bonnet is open, as the shut lines look awful.
Front bumper is a tad OTT too. Perhaps it'll be a grower.

So, is it bigger than an M3, or what will be an M3? How many doors will the M3 have?

Ah ha.
So will there be a two door 3 Series that isn't a coupe, or will the two door 3 Series just be called the 4 Series from now on and the 3 Series will only have four doors? :confused:

i don't understand why they don't call the 4door the m4 and call the 3door coupe the m3
wouldn't that make more sense?

These are the best pictures I've seen so far. Does look really, really nice imo. The yellow is a slightly new version, which I've always hated tbh lol. But cannot wait to see this in better colours!
Must admit I'd like to see new wheels as well. Hopefully they'll change when it comes out.

the 4 door has a boot so that should be called an M5, which ever way you look at it you're wrong

Rear end looks a bit 17year old male for my liking. Front is very pretty though.
What engine is it due to have? M135i lump?

shhh, I just thought it made a little more sense for the bigger car with more doors to be the higher number

Don't get why people are so confused over the naming.
Current/past series lineup:
1 hatchback
1 coupe
3 saloon/touring
3 coupe
Future series lineup:
1 hatchback
2 coupe
3 saloon/touring
4 coupe
