This illustration, which is based on one of the best spy-shots of the new BMW 3-series yet, is the best look so far at the final design of the upcoming BMW 3-series. The design is absolutely about evolution, rather than revolution, as BMW has obviously taken a Porsche 911 philosophy to redesigning their most important vehicle. Judging by this illustration, I certainly can't fault them for it - not only does it not possess a Pokemon-face like the BMW 1-series, it also keeps the nearly-perfect proportions of its 3-series forebearers, as well as takes a more masculine design tack than the current slightly-girly BMW 3er.
Expect the same engines as are in the 2012 BMW 5-series when this new 3er finally debuts - Expect the 328i to be powered by the 2012 528i's new TwinPower Turbo 2.0 good for 240 horsepower, as well as the TwinPower Turbo 3.0 in the new 335i. Nobody said this car was going to lack for power OR fuel economy. Now if they can fix the HPFP issues of the previous gen, they'll be set.
