hmmm, those overhangs look pretty long for today's standards.

Apparently, this is the convertible with the optional removable hard top installed. If you look at it closely, the roof is a different texture to the rest of the car.

Yeah, that's what it looked like to me. This is going to replace the 3 series? I certainly hope not, and I don't think so. I love the current 3's and the styling of this one doesn't even come close. Chris Bangle bungling again?

It'll have to be a 3-series replacement. BMW's going down the same slippery slope as Mercedes, that being slicing up their pie into too many pieces. BMW has a pretty good system worked out for their car classes/makes as is.

BMW isn't dicing up it's line, its adding two new models and renaming a few.
2 series- new model, small coupe
3 series-same
4 series- new name for 3 ci's or Is's
5 series- same
6 series- new model, although essentially two door five series
7 series- same

motor trend keeps telling us that BMW is thinking about still calling the coupe and convertibles 3-series, just cause of the name recognition factor. I think that's stupid and i hope their wrong, but i think i've read little blurbs in the past two issues that have said this. I was really liking their new system, odd numbers for sedans and even numbers for coupes and verts, cause its one of those logical, organized things. To scrap that for just a "recognizable" name (come on, its a number!) is stupid. People can figure it out!
Here ya go, they mention it in their 2007 future vehicle forcast:
