OV9

'Leaked' apparently.

No surprises in the pics. Looks ok from most angles but that front bumper is a mess of lines.

No surprises there really, the M3/4 going to still be 3.0 Turbo?

The new X5 is absolutely gopping!

Looks like it’s lifted off a new Peugeot suv thingy

That looks utterly predictable. At least the removal of the manual handbrake is something worth noticing.

Amazingly they've stuck to circular tailpipes

The fact that the tailpipes are actually still connected to the exhaust is more surprising.

No mention of Doom Blue - Im owt.

Whats with the oversized "nostrils" on every BMW these days!?

Combo of Audi A4, Lexus and some massive ruddy grills. Not convinced.

It's a shame. I think the runout 'Midnight Edition' 3 series tourers are cracking looking cars. The more I look at the front of the new one the more goping I think it is.

Audi grills are too big also

It looks fine and will be everywhere soon enough and look completely normal.

The three is always the most conservative new model as it's what they sell the most of and don't want to scare too many people off. Wonder if they'll be a touch more adventurous with the 4 series as they keep trying to distance it from the 3.

Can't configure the F30 on the BMW site anymore, but this one is on. No Estoril blue available. The 'F' touring is still on there though.

They always introduce the saloon first with two door, convertible and touring following later ( we'll have done since the e30 anyway )

The new 330i is 2.0l turbot.

That's so wrong...

So was the old 330 in the F30/31 etc. And so was the 328 earlier in that cars life cycle.

It hasn't been a straight six since E9x days.

They were complaining about the same on boatshoes. I sometimes wonder if anyone really are car guys

Nav wasn't standard, as we discovered when about to drive off in the black 320Msport company car that was already paid for and went to try to programme in the address for home....

Foz, that 330d deal is worse than the lease I signed up for in 2013 when they had not long been launched. Which was quickly superseded by way better 335d lease deals. I hope nobody here is tempted.
