    Leaked: 2019 BMW 3-Series

      Whoops

    What you see before you is the next-generation BMW 3-Series, known as the G20 that will be debuting later this week at the Paris Motor Show. But renders from the configurator have leaked out and made their away on to various websites.

    The overall dimensions and profile of the G20 3-Series are reminiscent of the F30 generation. Up front, the 3-Series makes a callback to the larger 5-Series with wider kidney grilles, sculpted hood, and narrower headlights. The M Sport and M340i get a more aggressive front bumper treatment with faux mesh inserts in front of the wheels. A noticeable depression is applied to the bottom part of the doors.

    For the interior, BMW has gone for a modern and minimalistic look with sharp angles, large screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, and a small number of buttons. It appears all of the models in the photos have an automatic transmission, with some lacking a selector - though we believe that's more of error with the renderings.

    We'll have more details on the mechanical and other bits when the 3-Series debuts later this week.

    Thanks @William Maley for pointing out the changes. My first impression was what has changed? ?‍♂️

    The more I looked at all the pics on the Bimmerpost site, I was able to pick them up, truly an evolution of the brand, not a revolution but then many like that. Should do BMW well. Mixed feeling on the dash.

    Well, it looks like a BMW.  I am not a big fan of the digital display behind the steering wheel, it doesn't seem to fit in right.  But nothing inside or out looks offensive, they are serving up what the people want, the formula isn't broken so no need to change it.

    The competition isn't standing still.

    BMW has some gaping sales holes in it's lineup- holes that absolutely need to be changed up in the battle for '#1 luxury mainstream volume brand' with mercedes.

    IS BMW THAT far behind Mercedes Benz in sales?  MB seems to be a luxury brand for almost every luxury buyer, whereas BMW is still luxury sports sedans (and the X SAVs).

    The interior is a definite step up and now BMW’s look like they are the logical in between of Audi and Mercedes. 

     

    Which means this car is blah at best. But I think the exterior overall is still more attractive than the Mercedes but the Volvo S60 is still the ‘all-new for 2019’ styling champion of this class.

    • I know that this secrecy was mentioned, as if he was a legacy admit and didn't perform well, with some profs weighing in on that.  We know when a VIP politician is on law review, magna/summa, a Fulbright, or a Rhodes scholar. Ditto with Schwarzenegger ... not even the mayor of a small town.  When there was a teacher's pay settlement thing dragging on and on, he said in his Austrian accent that 'whoever' would 'stay in there until resolved and that it could smell' ... urine or feces, possibly.  Brown or Newsom know how the machine works and are much less likely to utter such stupidities. I'm apolitical until I see idiocy.  I will gladly vote for a good and normal Republican (a RINO), but the other side is much less amenable to voting Dem due to lower education which leads to more black and white thinking and critical thinking skills that aren't as sharp.  I'd be insulted if someone called me a liberal.  I just like moderation when possible.
    • You always seem to want to defend in ANY way possible this Donald J. Trump fellow.  I know you say you are the independant voter type, but it seems very odd to me that you always seem to have some sort defense for him. And all Republican type politicians.  I really dont care what voter you are and how you vote. Just a pattern I sees.  It would be a brain twister for me trying to figure you out had you defended Biden or Harris like you do with Trump when @ocnblu was putting on his show against Obama and Biden, but Im not here to start a political thing with you.  I simply dont care. Just wanted to tell you that Ive picked up a certain pattern with you.    But...Imma gonna ask you if you feel its kinda odd for Trump and friends to question Harris if she ever worked at McDonald's and to ask for proof.  I will admit its kinda odd for a politician to lie about a place of work that may or may not have happened. But to ask for tax slips and pay stubs to a middle aged person (Harris) about a teenager job that she had is kinda odd to me.  Who keeps those slips that long anyway? And...to try to belittle somebody about such a MUNDANE thing but for ALL Trump and friends and followers to ACCEPT BLATANT Trump lies about MORE SERIOUS issues is even odder to me... Just sayin' In my 52 years almost on this planet called earth, I havent quite heard another politician quite like Donald J. Trump huff and puff sooooo much hatred with so called toughness.  I wasnt alive when Hitler was doing his schtick, so I cant compare Hitler with Trump, but ODDLY enough (that word again that you used and I want to point out just like you like to point out odd things), Trump seems to want to compare himself with Hitler at EVERY turn on his own.  Nobody else but him and his favorite media personalities endorse it as well.   So no...not like ever other politician. IN THE WORLD let lone DC.  Well maybe Putin the last 2-3 years threatening the West( that is us if you havent noticed) with Nuclear attack.   Oh...just to be clear.  Its thanx to Trump's divisional tactics in his political world and his so called leadership that has weakened and divided Americans that Putin had the balls to attack and try to capture the entirety of Ukraine and it is Trump himself that has caused Word War 3 because make no misytake about it, the planet IS experiencing WW3 right now. Pray it does NOT escalate to harsher weaponry...  ALL because Trump talks 'tough'.   With his ALLIES...  
    • Is it common for presidents to have their college transcripts publicized? That seems really odd, if so.    So, he's just like every other politician in DC? 🤣 
    • I didn't want to bother a Bothellian with an early post, given the 3 hour time difference, but join me in wishing @G. David Felt an electrifying birthday! Enjoy your day ... as much as you can, anyway.
