2012 BMW 3-Series hits the ring for first time

Lol, the car is camouflaged so much, you really have no idea what the bumper will look like. Its to early to tell anything yet. I think we will start to see more uncovering towards 2011. I think they are making the wheelbase longer because they want the 1 series to stand out more. Just hope it does not approach 5 series territory.

Nobody, I repeat nobody, say anything negative about BMW or BavarianMS will swoop in for the kill!

Do you ever have anything to add to an article? Did you even read it? I have not seen you comment anywhere but BMW articles. With absolutely nothing to add. Just random garbage spewed from your mouth. Do you also own 30 cars in your garage like the STI fanboy? When you have something worth discussing to add, comeback then.

BavarianMS is a fanboy for a reason. BMW is amazing. Why would someone get mad at someone for liking something amazing?

Im a fan yes. Fanboy? no. Fan-boys are those who don't really know what they are talking about. Some people just like to give BMW this negative stereotype that it does not deserve. I like it for what it is, not what its not. Don't buy em for the badge but for what they deliver. There are lots of fanboy haters who are really full of themselves that keep spreading garbage around. Oh yeah, some also claim to own 30 cars. The 911 is also one of my all time favorites. I like cars from many different makes and don't mind discussing any of them.

A fanboy is someone with an obsessive interest in a particular thing - usually a company - that won't accept negativity aimed at it. Because of this interest, they find out as much as they can about the company, and thus they do know what they're on about, although not often from experience - I don't know how relevant that is to you, that's just my experience. Fanboys are obviously interested in the area surruonding it as well (e.g. X-Box 360 fanboys - my least favourite kind - are fans of video games, not just X-Box), but they have a very clear favourite. It is only on BMW articles that you're like this with long angry/defensive comments, often blowing hot air rather than making a point. You say some people only comment on BMW articles, but click on their username and see that this isn't the case. For instance, 997-GT500-STI has commented on a variety of articles and hasn't shown any clear fanboyism (that I've picked up on, at least). So cool your jets. And McNamara, please don't wind him up. It means everyone has to scroll down further. (Yes, I realise that's an ironic thing for me to put in this long comment, but it's true nonetheless) Anyway, to refer to the original comment, it does look a bit cheap. But you can't trust prototype bodywork, especially if it's too early for it to even have proper head/tail lights. Cynical me thinks BMW will be conservative with the design of this high-volume car. After polarising so many people with most of the outgoing generation of BMWs, their new language seems to be a sort of dulled-down Bangle. Still lots of creases, etc., but not so... controversial.

Um lets just put it this way. I don't care if someone talks down on something. As long as they use more than 3 words to do it and back up their information. The comment function is to discuss cars not people. Oh yeah, to 997-GT500-STI dude. I really would like to see the 30 cars you say you own. You can send me a link with proof. Untill then, I own a Veyron and an Enzo.

I am on BavarianMS's side of the battle

lol mcnamara..so true.

lol he's out of control, like a little chihuahua

If this remark is regarding my person, I have to say that now I'm starting to have some doubts ;P I don't know what kind of posts you're expecting from me, propably I'm not as ambitious as I should and my short experince in car brand is not enough to write any here. Please be more ambitious....

was not addressed to you in fact ... this was just a useless comment to say that the car is so deeply hidden that it is hard to see it is a bmw... also to say that even if there is not much to say about those pics, there are still some people (BavarianMS and Mikeado) that can not resist fighting and arguing ... sorry for the confusion !

Oh, no offence and bad feelings anymore :) I was sure it was answer to my post. Arguing is every forum's law, there's nothing we can do. Cheers!

Yes, sorry about that. I'm usually better behaved.

What exactly did i get? Show me where I was hateful? You really are delusional pulling straws like that.
